The low-temperature m.c.d.(magnetic-circular-dichroism) spectra of haem a derivatives are presented. It is shown that reduced haem a in pyridine contains the low-spin ferrous ion and that oxidized haem a in the presence of excess imidazole has the low-spin ferric form. Both the m.c.d. and the absorption spectra of haem a in excess pyridine are changed by the addition of excess sodium dithionite into a form similar to that of haems b and c. This is interpreted in terms of an attack, by reduced pyridine, at the 8-formyl group of the haem a ring. This leads to a partial assignment of the electronic spectrum of haem a.
本文给出了血红素a衍生物的低温磁圆二色性(m.c.d.)光谱。结果表明,吡啶中的还原型血红素a含有低自旋亚铁离子,而在过量咪唑存在下的氧化型血红素a具有低自旋铁离子形式。向过量吡啶中的血红素a加入过量连二亚硫酸钠后,其m.c.d.光谱和吸收光谱均发生变化,变为与血红素b和c相似的形式。这可以用还原吡啶对血红素a环的8-甲酰基的攻击来解释。这导致了对血红素a电子光谱的部分归属。
