[FTIR study on the structures of bilirubin in solution].
The structures of bilirubin in solid-state, in HCCl3 and DMSO solution are investigated by FTIR spectroscopy. The results indicate that bilirubin have very different structures in solid-state and in solutions. The results also demonstrate that the structures vary in different solvents. There are six H-bonds in bilirubin molecule in solid-state, four in bilirubin molecule in HCCl3 solution and one in bilirubin molecule in DMSO solution.
