Studies on the magneto-optical rotation of porphyrins, hemins and methemoglobin compounds]
Authors:H Rein  K Ruckpaul  O Ristau  W Haberditzl
Abstract:Using the method of magneto-optical rotation (MOR) various porphyrin derivatives, hemin and heme compounds, and a number of methemoglobin complexes were investigated. The spectra were recorded from 450-600 nm; with methemoglobin also in the Soret region. 1. The metalfree porphyrin derivatives (deutero-, meso-, hemato- and protoporphyrins) were measured in strongly acidic aqueous solution. The derivatives thus present as di-cations yield highly resolved MORspectra, where the Q-bands (Oo leads to; Oo leads to 1) originated from the pi-pi transitions of the porphyrin display the curve shape characteristic of an A-term, this proving the presence of the D4h symmetry. An exception is the protoporphyrin, in which the pi-electron system of the porphyrin is perturbed by the influence of pi-electrons of the vinyl group, causing poor resolution, line broadening, and shift of the Q-bands into the lower-energy spectral region. 2. With iron porphyrins (hemin, heme and their complexes) the charge of the iron and the nature of axial ligands determine the position and intensity of the O-bands in the MOR spectrum. Low-spin complexes have a higher symmetry than the high-spin complexes. Whereas with hemin (S = 5/2), the iron located outside the heme plane strongly disturbs the porphyrin pi-system, the high symmetry of porphyrin is greatly retained in the case of heme. This can be explained by the enhanced binding distance between the bivalent iron and the porphyrin to great for a strong coupling between the microsymmetry of the iron and the macrosymmetry of the porphyrin pi-system.
