Abstract
Pentapyrrole analogs of bilirubin and biliverdin have been prepared al ong with corresponding analogs where two dipyrrinones are attached to p-xylyl and m-xylyl groups. As determined by spectroscopic analysis an d molecular modelling, the ''expanded'' yellow bilirubin analogs are a ble to adopt intramolecularly hydrogen bonded conformations.
