Abstract:The Mössbauer spectra and effective magnetic moments of (pyropheophytin a)iron(III) chloride and (pyropheophytin b) iron(III) chloride have revealed that the central iron(III) ion is in a high-spin state. The temperature-dependent asymmetry of the Mössbauer spectra is interpreted in terms of slow electronic spin relaxation. The Mössbauer parameters of these complexes are similar to those of corresponding iron(III) porphyrins. The central iron(III) ions in iron(III) pyropheophytins are autoreduced to the ferrou… Show more
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.
