Summary

The complex formation between Gd(III) tetraphenylporphyrin or free-base tetraphenylporphyrin and vitamin E have been studied by spectrophotometric titration in chloroform and cyclohexane solutions. It has been shown that tetraphenylporphyrin and its gadolinium complex form 1:1 molecular complexes with vitamin E. The absorption spectra of titrated porphyrins contain well defined isosbestic points. The equilibrium constants were found using curve fitting procedure. The observed interactions are stronger for metallated than for non-metallated porphyrin and in less polar than in polar solvents.

Zusammenfassung

Die Ausbildung von Molekülverbindungen zwischen Gd(III)-Tetraphenylporphyrin oder der freien Base und Vitamin E wurden mittels spektrophotometrischer Titration in Cyclohexan und Chloroform untersucht. Es wird gezeigt, daß Tetraphenylporphyrin und sein Gadoliniumkomplex mit Vitamin E Molekülverbindungen äquimolarer Zusammensetzung bilden. Die Absorptionsspektren der titrierten Porphyrine zeigen gut definierte isosbestische Punkte. Die Gleichgewichtskonstanten wurden unter Zuhilfenahme einescurve-fitting-Algorithmus ermittelt. Die beobachteten Wechselwirkungen sind stärker für metalliertes als für nichtmetalliertes Porphyrin und in unpolaren als in polaren Lösungsmitteln.
