Abstract

), which are characteristic of the metal complexes. The structural changes of the polyphenol complexes with iron were also investigated at different pHs and different polyphenol/iron stoichiometries. Other effects of the interaction of polyphenols with iron are the pH decrease of the mixture upon metal complexation and fluorescence quenching induced by the interaction of iron. This quenching is important since it facilitates the Raman inspection of manuscripts since polyphenols show a strong fluorescence emission that overlaps the Raman spectrum. Furthermore, DFT calculations were performed for the first time on the gallic acid complex with iron in order to elaborate a detailed assignment of the vibrational modes of polyphenols and their metal complexes, something that was missed in previous applications of Raman to IGIs.
