Abstract

The structural investigation of three bacteriopetroporphyrins related to bacteriochlorophylls c and d reveals a localized distortion of the porphyrin macrocycle in the c-series at the meso-substituted C(20) position. This presents a structural rationale for the differences observed in reactivity and absorption spectra between bacteriochlorophylls bearing a C(20) methyl group and those without. The crystal structures determined for the Ni(II) bacteriopetroporphyrins present the first such analysis for geoporphyrins derived from bacteriochlorophylls of the green sulfur bacteria.
