Metal-Substituted Bacteriochlorophylls. 2. Changes in Redox Potentials and Electronic Transition Energies Are Dominated by Intramolecular Electrostatic Interactions

Changes in the electronic transition energies and redox potentials because of metal substitution in bacteriochlorophyll a justify the recently suggested correlation between electronegativity øM, covalent radius, and an effective charge, QM, at the metal atom center. A simple electrostatic theory in which QM modifies the energies of the frontier molecular orbitals by Coulombic interactions with ...

Metallobacteriochlorophylls as potential dual agents for photodynamic therapy and chemotherapy

A theoretical analysis of bacteriochlorophyll a containing its non-native divalent metal ions: Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Ru, Rh, Pd, and Pt, has been carried out by means of density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The main stress was put on the derivatives with metals, which already found applications as coordination compounds in anti-tumor therapy (Ru, Pt, Pd, and Rh). The idea was to combine thei...

Chlorophylls and Bacteriochlorophylls: Biochemistry, Biophysics, Functions and Applications. Supplementary Material

I. Substrate specificity of POR Several modified Pchlid derivatives were tested for substrate activity with POR (Griffiths, 1991; Helfrich, 1995; Helfrich et al., 1996; Schoch et al., 1995; Klement et al., 1999). The central Mg can be substituted by Zn while the metal-free Pchlid and the Ni, Co, and Cu complex are inactive. Modifications of the side chains at rings A and B are throughout tolera...

Mechanism of photooxidation of bacteriochlorophyll c derivatives. A possible model for natural chlorophyll breakdown.

The photooxidation of methyl pheophorbides, derived from bacteriochlorophyll c, yields ring-opened acetylbilitrienes which are structurally related to mammalian bile pigments. The mechanism of this photooxidation, and that of certain mesomethyl-substituted model compounds, has been studied using 18O labeling with molecular oxygen. In all cases, the methine bridge carbon atoms were retained in t...

A comparative study between transition-metal-substituted Keggin-type tungstosilicates supported on anatase leaf as catalyst for synthesis of symmetrical disulfides

Transition-metal-substituted  (TMS)  polyoxometalates  of  the  general  formula  [SiW9M3O39], (where M = first row transition metal), has been synthesized and supported on anatase by sol–gel method under oil-bath condition. The tetrabutylammonium (TBA) salts of the Keggin-type polyoxotungstates  [SiW9M3O39],  (M = VII, CrII, MnII,  FeII CoII  and NiII),  proved  to  be  green, reusable,  and  ...
