Anaerobic irradiation of bilirubin in the region of the main absorption band produces the diastereomers of (Z,E)- and (E,Z)-configurations with high quantum yield.The structure of these "photobilirubins" is proven by a chemical correlation with the corresponding diastereomers of biliverdindimethylester characterised before.Their 1H-NMR spectroscopic features have been recorded and are discussed. - Keywords: (Z,Z)-, (Z,E)- and (E,Z)-Bilirubin; Photobilirubin; Neonatal jaundice; Phototherapy
