Porphycene (Pc) is a well-known model for studying double hydrogen transfer, which shows vibrational-mode-specific tunneling splitting when isolated in supersonic jets or helium nanodroplets. The effect of deuteration on tunneling splitting is reported for jet-cooled heterogeneous, deuterated Pc samples (Pc-d(mix)) with the prevailing contribution of Pc-d12 isotopologue. The sample introduced into the gas phase using laser desorption is studied by means of laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) and single vibronic level fluorescence (SVLF) measurements, in combination with quantum chemical calculations. The influence of molecular symmetry is studied by comparing Pc, Pc-d12, and Pc-d11. The spectra of Pc-d12 show strong similarity to those of the parent undeuterated porphycene (Pc). Comparable tunneling splitting is observed in the two isotopologues, both for the 0-0 transition and the most efficient promoting 2Ag mode. In contrast, an unusual isotopic effect is observed for the totally symmetrical 4Ag mode. While this vibration behaves as a neutral mode in Pc, neither enhancing nor decreasing the tunneling efficiency, it strongly promotes hydrogen transfer in Pc-d12. This observation is explained in terms of modification of the displacement vectors of the 4Ag mode upon deuteration. It demonstrates that isotope substitution affects hydrogen transfer even when the weak structural modifications are far from the reaction center, emphasizing the strongly multidimensional nature of the tunneling process.
