Abstract Vibrational modes for the resonance Raman lines of Ni(OEP) have been obtained on the basis of a normal coordinate analysis. The Raman line at 1383 cm−1, which corresponds to an oxidation-state marker band of hemoproteins, is mainly due to the breathing mode of the pyrrole rings. The vibrations of the sixteen-membered inner ring contribute to the Raman bands sensitive to the spin-states of the heme iron.
