Abstract
Zinc 3-acetyl-13(1)-hydroxychlorin Zn-4 was efficiently prepared as a model for naturally occurring bacteriochlorophyll-d possessing 3(1)-hy droxyl and 13-keto groups. Synthetic model Zn-4 self-aggregates to for m oligomers in non-polar organic solvents as well as the isomeric zinc 3(1)-hydroxy-13(1)-oxochlorin Zn-1. Both the in-vitro aggregates are similar with the in-vivo aggregates of bacteriochlorophyll-d in the ma in light-harvesting antennae of photosynthetic green bacteria.
