Item Open Access Excited electronic states of flavin-containing coenzyme models(1988) Gückel, Friedemann; Schweitzer, Dieter; Becker, Katja; Schirmer, Rolf Heiner; Zipplies, Matthias F.; Staab, Heinz A.In order to gain further insight into the physical basis of flavin-catalyzed reactions, the interactions of a flavin with a second flavin and with other aromatic ring systems were studied. For this purpose compounds through 1 were synthesized These compounds contain the interacting units in defined geometric orientation. A monomeric flavin and glutathione reductase a flavoenzyme of known active-site chemistry, were included as reference molecules. The present report deals with excited triplet states of the flavin compounds as studied by optical spectroscopy and optically detected magnetic resonances (ODMR) at 1.3K.Item Open Access Electronic interactions between polycyclic arenes in cyclophanes(1988) Haenel, Matthias; Schweitzer, DieterThe π-π interaction between polycyclic arenes and the effects of orientation were studied in [2.2]-, [3.3]-, and [3.2]naphthalenophanes, [2]naphthaleno[2]paracyclophanes, and syn- and anti[2.2](2,7)fluorenophane by electron absorption and emission spectroscopy as well as by optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) of the excited triplet state. The π-π interaction in the excited singlet and triplet state was found to be highest if a maximal number of sixmembered rings of the interacting arenes in a parallel orientation are completely eclipsed. Similarly, the π-π interaction between the nonbonding nitrogen electron pair and the aromatic π electrons was investigated in isomeric etheno-bridged naphthalenopyridinophanes and an anthracenopyridinophane; in these pyridinophanes, the pyridine rings are fixed perpendicularly above different sites of the naphthalene and anthracene units, respectively.
