K. Tsukahara et al., STEREOSELECTIVE PHOTOINDUCED ELECTRON-TRANSFER OF ZINC MYOGLOBIN WITHOPTICALLY-ACTIVE VIOLOGENS, Chemistry Letters, (12), 1994, pp. 2377-2380
The excited triplet state of zinc myoglobin was preferentially quenche
d by (S,S)-isomers of optically active viologens, is(1-phenylethylcarb
amoylmethyl)-4,4'-bipyridinium (OAV(2+)) and 1-naphthyl)ethylcarbamoyl
methyl)-4,4'-bipyridinium (NOAV(2+)) ions: k(q)((S,S)-)/k(q)((R,R)-) =
1.5 for NOAV(2+) and 1.3 for OAV(2+) at 25 degrees C and an ionic str
ength of 0.02 mol dm(-3).
