Abstract

The structure of the title compound, a tripyrrolic compound derived from aetiobiliverdin-IVy has been determined from three-dimensional X-ray diffractometer data. The tripyrrolic skeleton shows only small deviations from planarity. Adjacent rings assume theZ-configuration with the nitrogen atoms syn. Bond lengths in the three rings are quite different. No intra- or inter-molecular hydrogen bonding is observed. The compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pna21 with cell dimensions a = 9.773(2), b = 11.468(2), c = 19.402(3) Â, Z = 4. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined by least-squares techniques to R 0.063 for 1 037 observed reflections. © 1978, Royal Society of Chemistry.
