Abstract: The resonance Raman spectra of water-soluble porphyrin Cu(NACN)[Cu-tetrakis(4-N-acetonitrilepyridyl)porphyrin], Cu(NEAE) and Ni(NEAE)[Cu or Ni-tetrakis (4-N-ethylacetatepyridyl) porphyrin] and their complexes with calf thymus DNAat different laser pulse powers were measured with 445 nm pulse laser excitation; The analysis results indicate that both of the copper-porphyrins formed electronic exciplex with DNAbut the Ni(NEAE)did not form, In this experiment, besides copper-porphyrin Raman bands Ⅵ (near 1370 cm-1)and Ⅷ(near 1570 cm-1).band Ⅶ(near 1470 cm-1) also show extra band which symbolizes the formation of exciplex.The triplet of copper-porphyrin with a long life time is quenched by DNAand the exciplex may be formed by charge transfer from triplet of Cu-porphyrin to DNA.
