Abstract: | The formation of complexes between two flavins [flavine adenine dinucleotide (FAD) and riboflavin (RFN)] and some indole derivatives has been studied in aqueous solution. The molecular associations have been examined by means of electronic absorption spectra, since in each, a new charge-transfer like band has been located, and also by observing the variation of the fluorescence emission of FAD or RFN on the solutions. The formation constants for the molecular complexes were determined from data of absorption using the Foster—Hammick—Wardley method. The quenching fluorescence phenomena observed for the FAD and RFN were related to the concentration of the indole derivatives and the corresponding quenching constants have been determined. Thermodynamic parameters have been derived from the values of association constants for the molecular complexes at several temperatures. Clear evidence is found for the influence on the stability of these complexes of the different substituent groups in the indole derivatives and the molecular structure of both flavins. |
