Department of Chemistry, University of Wyoming, Laramie 82071-3838.

beta-Hematin, the metalloporphyrin coordination polymer present in malaria pigment, is prepared in high yield by the abstraction of HCl from hemin with a non-coordinating base in strictly anhydrous conditions. The product of this preparation is characterized by elemental analysis, infrared and diffuse reflectance spectroscopies and demonstrated to be identical to prior preparations.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007202	Indicators and Reagents	Substances used for the detection, identification, analysis, etc. of chemical, biological, or pathologic processes or conditions. Indicators are substances that change in physical appearance, e.g., color, at or approaching the endpoint of a chemical titration, e.g., on the passage between acidity and alkalinity. Reagents are substances used for the detection or determination of another substance by chemical or microscopical means, especially analysis. Types of reagents are precipitants, solvents, oxidizers, reducers, fluxes, and colorimetric reagents.
