Biliverdin-dimethylester (l), Mesobiliverdin-dimethylester (2) und 1 ',8'-Diathoxy-I',8'-didesoxobiliverdin-diathylester (4) bilden 1 : 1-Komplexe mit zweiwertigen Mn-, Co-, Ni-, Cuund Zn-Ionen. Die Komplexe liegen entweder in einer cyclischen, nahezu planaren ,,phlorinartigen" Konformation vor (Amax = 800-900 nm) oder in einer nicht naher charakterisierten, offenkettigen, ,,bilatrienartigen" Form (Amax = 650-700 nm). Die Komplexe weisen polarographische Stufen bei niedrigen Potentialen auf und gehen leicht irreversible Additionsreaktionen ein. In Essigsaureanhydrid gelang die fast quantitative Cyclisierung von Biliverdinkomplexen zu Oxaporphyrinen. Die chemischen Eigenschaften und Ergebnisse aus Modellberechnungen bei Biliverdinaten werden mit denen von Metalloporphyrinen verglichen.
Metal Complexes of Biliverdin DerivativesBiliverdin dimethyl ester (l), mesobiliverdin dimethyl ester (2) and I ',8'-diethoxy-l',l'-dideoxobiliverdin diethyl ester (4) form 1 : I-complexes with divalent metal ions of Mn, Co, Ni, Cu and Zn. The complexes exist either in a cyclic near-planar, "phlorin-type" configuration (Amnx = 800-900 nm) or in an "open-chain" configuration (Amax = 650-700 nm). The complexes give rise to low polarographic oxidation and reduction potentials and undergo irreversible addition reactions. The metal complexes of biliverdjn cyclize in acetic anhydride quantitatively, yielding oxaporphyrins. The chemical properties of the biliverdins and the results of model calculations on these systems are compared with those of the corresponding porphyrins.Die Eigenschaften von Metallkompiexen des Biliverdin-dimethylesters (1) und seinen Derivaten wurden im Gegensatz zu den Metalloporphyrinen bisher kaum untersucht. Elektronenspektren 1,*.3) und Elementaranalysen1.2) sind in wenigen Fallen zuganglich, uber die Geometrie des Ligandenfeldes und die chemischen Eigenschaften der offenkettigen Tetrapyrroliiganden ist nichts bekannt.

The influence of the water soluble non-ionic tri-block copolymer PEO-PPO-PEO [poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(propylene oxide)-poly(ethylene oxide)] i.e., E2P16E2 (L31) on the microstructure and self-aggregation dynamics of the anionic surfactant sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) in aqueous solution was investigated using cloud point (CP), isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), high resolution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), and small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) measurements. CP provided the thermodynamic information on the Gibbs free energy, enthalpy, entropy and heat capacity changes pertaining to the phase separation of the system at elevated temperature. The ITC and NMR self-diffusion measurements helped to understand the nature of the binding isotherms of SDS in the presence of L31 in terms of the formation of mixed aggregates and free SDS micelles in solution. EPR analysis provided the micro-viscosity of the spin probe 5-DSA in terms of rotational correlation time. The SANS study indicated the presence of prolate ellipsoidal mixed aggregates, whose size increased with the increasing addition of L31. At a large [L31], SANS also revealed the progressive decreasing size of the ellipsoidal mixed aggregates of SDS-L31 into nearly globular forms with the increasing SDS addition. Wrapping of the spherical SDS micelles by L31 was also corroborated from (13)C NMR and SANS measurements.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
