The optical activity in porphyrins can easily be induced by a chiral environment, but it is difficult to determine the underlying mechanisms purely on an experimental basis. Therefore, in this study, magnitudes of the perturbational, dipolar, and direct covalent contributions to the electronic circular dichroism (CD) are evaluated with the aid of quantum chemical computations. Electronic properties of model porphyrin chromophores are analyzed. Time-dependent density functional theory (TD DFT), particularly with the hybrid B3LYP functional, appeared suitable for estimation of the electronic excitation energies and spectral intensities. The transition dipole coupling (TDC) between chirally stacked porphyrins was determined as the most important mechanism contributing to their optical activity. This is in agreement with previous experimental observations, where chiral matrices often induce the stacking and large CD signals. About a 10 times smaller signal could be achieved by a chiral orientation of the phenyl or similar residues covalently attached to the porphyrin core. Also, this prediction is in agreement with known experiments. Perturbation models realized by a chirally arranged porphyrin and a point charge, or by a porphyrin and the methane molecule, provided the smallest CD signals. The electrically neutral methane induced similar CD magnitudes as those of the charge, but spectral shapes were different. For a complex of porphyrin and the alanine cation, a significant influence of the solvent on the resultant CD spectral shape was observed, while for the charge and methane perturbations, a negligible solvent effect was found. Detailed dependence of the induced optical activity on variations of geometrical parameters is discussed. The simulations of the induced porphyrin activity can thus bring important information about the structure and intermolecular interactions in chiral complexes.
