True or false? Blood is red because of the iron in hemoglobin. “Red blood cells” A close-up of red blood cells within a capillary. Over 99 percent of the blood vessels in the body are capillaries, even though they only hold 5 percent of the body’s blood.
False por·phy·rin Function: noun Etymology: from Greek porphyrapurple -any of various compounds with a macrocyclic structure that consists essentially of four pyrrole rings joined by four =CH- groups; especially : one (as chlorophyll or hemoglobin) containing a central metal atom and usually exhibiting biological activity
There are many different hemes used in biochemistry as: • Electron transfer cofactors as Fe(3+) / Fe(2+) • Catalytic Cofactors as cytochrome P450 • Besides O2 transport as hemoglobin
One example: Cytochrome c Oxidase Where dioxygen is reduced to water during respiration Note all the hemes!
The Adler synthesis of simple, symmetrically substituted porphyrins: Meso position R = phenyl (TPP) toluyl (TTP) p-chlorophenyl (TClPP)
Metallation of porphyrin Anything change at Fe? How do you know when the reaction is done? Porphyrin substituents on heme in hemoglobin
Absorption Spectrum of a Porphyrin Figure 1. Typical UV-Vis absorption spectrum of a porphyrin. The highly conjugated porphyrin macrocycle shows intense absorption (extinction coefficient > 200,000 M-1cm-1) at around 400 nm (the "Soret" band), followed by several weaker absorption bands (Q Bands) at higher wavelengths (450 to 700 nm).

For Thursday, Sept. 27: • Do heme synthesis using your prophyrin, TPP, TTP or TClPP, determining reaction completion by fluorescence • Filter Ru complex (if necessary); obtain MS of product • Observe 2D COSY NMR process • Obtain UV/vis spectrum of your Fe(porphyrin)Cl complex
Writing Assignments • Goal = writing a full synthesis and characterization manuscript on the Ru complex you made • Structure like those we discussed on first day • Includes, synthesis, 1D NMR and 2D COSY, and CV • Due dates • Draft 1 on Wednesday Oct.3 of the Experimental Section with outline form of introduction • Draft 2 on Wednesday Oct. 10: Introduction, revised Expermental and Results section with NMR Results
