STANDARD SAMPLE FOR TEST AND /OR CALIBRATION OF CIRCULAR DICHROISM DISPERSION METER AND UV-VISIBLE SPECTROPHOTOMETER

摘要

A principal object of the present invention is to provide a standard sample that allows accurate testing and calibration of a circular dichroism spectrometer, and which can also be applied to testing and calibration of a UV-visible spectrophotometer. The present invention relates to a standard sample for use in testing and/or calibrating a circular dichroism spectrometer and a UV-visible spectrophotometer, which standard sample comprising:a chlorin dimer represented by Chemical Formula (I):; ;wherein A is C_nH_2n (n is an integer of 0 or more); and R¹, R², R³R⁴, R⁵, R⁶, R⁷, R⁸, R⁹, R¹⁰, R¹¹, R¹², R¹³, R¹⁴, R¹⁵, and R¹⁶ are the same or different, and are each a hydrogen atom, a saturated hydrocarbon group, an aryl group that may be substituted, a heteroaryl group that may be substituted, or an aralkyl group that may be substituted; ora metal chlorin dimer represented by Chemical Formula (II):; ;wherein M²⁺ is a divalent metal ion; and A, R¹, R², R³, R⁴, R⁵, R⁶, R⁷, R⁸, R⁹, R¹⁰, R¹¹, R¹², R¹³, R¹⁴, R¹⁵, and R¹⁶ are the same as defined above. Each of the chlorin dimer and the metal chlorin dimer exhibits at least two peaks in an ultraviolet to visible region of a circular dichroism spectrum and a UV-visible absorption spectrum thereof.
