Struck, A.; Cmiel, Edmund; Schneider, Siegfried and Scheer, Hugo (1990): PHOTOCHEMICAL RING-OPENING IN meso-CHLORINATED CHLOROPHYLLS. In: Photochemistry and Photobiology, Vol. 51, No. 2: pp. 217-222

Abstract

Irradiation of 20-chloro-chlorophylls of the a-type with visible light produces long-wavelength shifted photoproducts, which transform in the dark to linear tetrapyrroles (bile pigments). The possible significance for chlorophyll degradation is discussed.
