MAGNETIC FIELD ORIENTED CRYSTALLIZATION OF CUTPP

在从饱和CuTPP中缓慢蒸发氯仿的过程中， 溶液中，置于磁场中，CuTPP晶体在 毛细管壁与CuTPP分子平行取向的平面 磁场 如果没有磁场， 随机的 晶体取向的程度取决于强度 磁场在1000 G左右达到最大值。 磁性排列是由顺磁层的各向异性引起的。 磁化率张量δ 我们试图利用这种效果 定向脂双层膜，含有以下物质的混合物的双细胞 DMPC/DHPC = 3和CuTPP。 我们使用其他平面铜和铁 配合物 我们希望能在X波段（3000 G）对膜进行定向 类似于NMR磁场中的其他方法。

During slow evaporation of chloroform from a saturated CuTPP solution, placed in magnetic field, CuTPP crystals are formed on the capillary walls with planes of CuTPP molecules oriented parallel to the magnetic field. Without the magnetic field, crystals are oriented randomly. The degree of crystal orientation depends on the strength of the magnetic field reaching a maximum value at about 1000G. Magnetic alignment arises from the anisotophy of the paramagnetic susceptibility tensor delta. We were trying to employ this effect to orient lipid bilayer membranes, bicells containing a mixture of DMPC/DHPC = 3 and CuTPP. We used other planar copper and iron complexes. We hoped that we can orient membranes at X-band (3000G) similarily as others at NMR magnetic fields.
