Reactivity of pyrrole pigments. Part 10 MINDO/3 calculations on bile pigments

摘要

The applicability of the MINDO/3 method is evaluated for tetrapyrrolic bile pigments: geometries from already calculated dipyrrolic partial models have been used to reduce the calculation time. Net atomic charges and reactivity parameters obtained from the frontier orbital model, i.e. HOMO and LUMO distribution on the molecule, are reported for several conformations.
