Abstract
The changes in optical activity and absorption spectra of stercobilin, (+)-urobilin IXα, and (+)-urobilin occurring during the formation of zinc and copper complexes have been measured. For all pigments there is a loss of optical activity and for stercobilin there is a change in sign of rotation. These observations are discussed in relation to the stereochemistry of the pigments.
