氧化锌有序结构在Au(111)和Cu(111)上的生长（英文）

利用NO_2或O_2作为氧化剂,研究了氧化锌在Au(111)和Cu(111)上的生长和结构。NO_2表现了更好的氧化性能,有利于有序氧化锌纳米结构或薄膜的生长。在Au(111)和Cu(111)这两个表面上,化学计量比氧化锌都形成非极性的平面化ZnO(0001)的表面结构。在Au(111)上,NO_2气氛下室温沉积锌倾向于形成双层氧化锌纳米结构;而在更高的沉积温度下,在NO_2气氛中沉积锌则可同时观测到单层和双层氧化锌纳米结构。O_2作为氧化剂时可导致形成亚化学计量比的ZnOx结构。由于铜和锌之间的强相互作用会促进锌的体相扩散,并且铜表面可以被氧化形成表面氧化物,整层氧化锌在Cu(111)上的生长相当困难。我们通过使用NO_2作为氧化剂解决了这个问题,生长出了覆盖Cu(111)表面的满层有序氧化锌薄膜。这些有序氧化锌薄膜表面显示出莫尔条纹,表明存在一个ZnO和Cu(111)之间的莫尔超晶格。实验上观察到的超晶格结构与最近理论计算提出的Cu(111)上的氧化锌薄膜结构相符,具有最小应力。我们的研究表明,氧化锌薄膜的表界面结构可能会随氧化程度或氧化剂的不同而变化,而Cu(111)的表面氧化也可能影响氧化锌的生长。当Cu(111)表面被预氧化成铜表面氧化物时,ZnOx的生长模式会发生变化,锌原子会受到铜氧化物晶格的限域形成单位点锌。我们的研究表明了氧化锌的生长需要抑制锌向金属基底的扩散,并阻止亚化学计量比ZnOx的形成。因此,使用原子氧源有利于在Au(111)和Cu(111)表面上生长有序氧化锌薄膜。

用微量热法研究漆酶和过氧化氢的反应

漆树酶是含铜酶。在酶系统中属于一种选择性较差的氧化酶,它能与许多还原底物作用,同时亦能还原分子氧生成水。在这些反应中漆酶中的三个不同的氧化还原活性中心和其作用途径常常是研究中的主要对象。在无氧条件下,漆酶被底物还原后,可用氧再氧化,实验表明,酶分子中的Cu2~+—Cu~(1+)循环是催化机理的一部分。1970年Farver等人在研究漆树酶与过氧化氢之间的反应时发现,漆树酶与过氧化氢有一种特殊作用,二者会生成一种稳定的具有高亲合力的复合物,该复合物不会被氧再氧化,其反应可用下式表示:式中L-Cu(Ⅱ)表示含二价铜的漆酶分子,二价铜在此反应中起活性中心的作用。本工作中,用微量热法测量了漆树酶与过氧化氢反应的一些热动力学性质。     

氧化锌有序结构在Au(111)和Cu(111)上的生长

利用NO₂或O₂作为氧化剂,研究了氧化锌在Au(111)和Cu(111)上的生长和结构。NO₂表现了更好的氧化性能,有利于有序氧化锌纳米结构或薄膜的生长。在Au(111)和Cu(111)这两个表面上,化学计量比氧化锌都形成非极性的平面化ZnO(0001)的表面结构。在Au(111)上,NO₂气氛下室温沉积锌倾向于形成双层氧化锌纳米结构;而在更高的沉积温度下,在NO₂气氛中沉积锌则可同时观测到单层和双层氧化锌纳米结构。O₂作为氧化剂时可导致形成亚化学计量比的ZnO_x结构。由于铜和锌之间的强相互作用会促进锌的体相扩散,并且铜表面可以被氧化形成表面氧化物,整层氧化锌在Cu(111)上的生长相当困难。我们通过使用NO₂作为氧化剂解决了这个问题,生长出了覆盖Cu(111)表面的满层有序氧化锌薄膜。这些有序氧化锌薄膜表面显示出莫尔条纹,表明存在一个ZnO和Cu(111)之间的莫尔超晶格。实验上观察到的超晶格结构与最近理论计算提出的Cu(111)上的氧化锌薄膜结构相符,具有最小应力。我们的研究表明,氧化锌薄膜的表界面结构可能会随氧化程度或氧化剂的不同而变化,而Cu(111)的表面氧化也可能影响氧化锌的生长。当Cu(111)表面被预氧化成铜表面氧化物时,ZnO_x的生长模式会发生变化,锌原子会受到铜氧化物晶格的限域形成单位点锌。我们的研究表明了氧化锌的生长需要抑制锌向金属基底的扩散,并阻止亚化学计量比ZnO_x的形成。因此,使用原子氧源有利于在Au(111)和Cu(111)表面上生长有序氧化锌薄膜。

Oxidations by copper metalloenzymes and some biomimetic approaches

This paper illustrates the various aspects of the reactivity of the Cu(II)–Cu(I) system in biological systems, with one example of an enzymatic reaction in which Cu(II) alone is oxidizing enough to carry out the reaction (superoxide dismutase), one example in which a Cu(II)-bound peroxo intermediate is the active species (tyrosinase) and the examples of galactose oxidase and copper amine oxidases in which Cu(II) is associated with a redox active organic cofactor. In some cases, we will show some illustrations of biomimetic approaches developed in our laboratories, aimed at a better understanding of reaction mechanisms and at an original design of new catalysts with potential applications in synthetic chemistry. Some comments are given concerning the respective features of copper and iron.     

Aerial oxidation of primary alcohols and amines catalyzed by Cu(II) complexes of 2,2'-selenobis(4,6-di-tert-butylphenol) providing [O,Se,O]-donor atoms

Seven copper(II)-complexes 1-7 with the ligand 2,2'-selenobis(4,6-di-tert-butylphenol) providing [O,Se,O]-donor atoms have been isolated and characterized. Three of them 1, 2 and 3 are mononuclear, two 4 and 7 dinuclear and 5, 6 are trinuclear. The crystal structures of the complexes were determined by X-ray diffraction and the electronic structures were established by various physical methods including EPR and variable temperature (2-290 K) susceptibility measurements. The magnetic behaviour of the compounds 4-6 exhibits antiferromagnetic exchange coupling resulting in well-isolated S(t)= 1/2 ground state for 5 and 6 and a diamagnetic spin state for 4. Complexes 5 and 6 belong to the class of asymmetric trinuclear copper(II) complexes modelling the trinuclear copper site in multicopper oxidases. Complex 1 is a catalyst in the presence of a strong base for the aerial oxidation of primary alcohols to the corresponding aldehydes. A dinuclear complex, seemed to be 4, prepared in situ has been found to be a catalyst for the aerial oxidation of primary amines containing alpha-C-H atoms. Primary kinetic isotope effects show that H-abstraction from the alpha-carbon atom of a coordinated substrate (alcoholato or amine) is the rate-determining step in both cases. Two functional models for the metalloenzymes galactose oxidase and amine oxidases are thus described.     

Catalytic turnover of benzylamine by a model for the lysine tyrosylquinone (LTQ) cofactor of lysyl oxidase

Lysyl oxidase differs from other copper amine oxidases in that its active quinone cofactor reflects cross-linking of a lysyl residue into the tyrosine-derived quinone nucleus found in the plasma and other copper amine oxidases. A model for the lysyl oxidase cofactor (LTQ), 3,3-dimethyl-2,3-dihydroindole-5,6-quinone (4), was synthesized and found to be stable to both hydrolysis and oxidation events that prevent simpler models from functioning as turnover catalysts. We show that 4 catalyzes the aerobic oxidative deamination of benzylamine, though turnover eventually ceases on account of oxidation of the dihydrobenzoxazole tautomer of the "product Schiff base" to form a benzoxazole, a reaction that may be physiologically relevant. The mechanism of the overall reaction profile was elucidated by a combination of optical and NMR spectroscopy and O(2) uptake studies.     

A comparison of the mechanism for the reductive half-reaction between pea seedling and other copper amine oxidases (CAOs)

In a previous DFT study a mechanism for the reductive half-reaction of pea seedling amine oxidase (PSAO) was suggested. In many of the suggested steps a lysine at the active site plays an important role. However, this lysine is not found in other amine oxidases. The primary aim of the present DFT study is therefore to investigate alternative mechanisms for those amine oxidases (CAO) where the lysine residue is not present. One of the most important roles suggested for the lysine in PSAO was to protonate the O2-site of TPQ before the critical Cbond;H bond cleavage of the substrate. In the absence of lysine the O2-site of TPQ is now suggested to be protonated by a water ligand on the copper metal complex, in line with experimental suggestions. In other steps the role of lysine is taken over by an asparagine. All results are compared with experimental observations and good agreement is generally found.     

Structural and functional mimic of galactose oxidase by a copper complex of a sterically demanding [N2O2] ligand

A structural and functional mimic of the galactose oxidase (GOase) enzyme active-site by a copper complex supported over a sterically demanding ligand having [N2O2] donor sites is reported. Specifically, the binding of the histidine (496 and 581) and tyrosine (272 and 495) residues to the copper center in a square-pyramidal fashion in the active-site of galactose oxidase (GOase) enzyme has been modeled in a copper complex, ([(3-tert-butyl-5-methyl-2-hydoxybenzyl)(3'-tert-butyl-5'-methyl-2'-oxobenzyl)(2-pyridylmethyl)]amine)Cu(OAc)) (1b), stabilized over a sterically demanding ligand in which the two phenolate-O atoms mimicked the tyrosine binding while an amine-N and pyridyl-N atoms emulated the histidine binding to the metal center, similar to that in the enzyme active-site. Furthermore, the copper complex 1b is found to be an effective functional model of the enzyme as it efficiently catalyzed the chemoselective oxidation of primary alcohols to aldehydes in high turnover numbers under ambient conditions. An insight into the nature of the active-species was obtained by EPR and CV studies, which in conjunction with the DFT studies, revealed that the active-species is an anti-ferromagnetically coupled diamagnetic radical cation, (1)1b+, obtained by one electron oxidation at the equatorial phenolate-O atom of the ligand in the 1b complex.

Mechanism-based cofactor derivatization of a copper amine oxidase by a branched primary amine recruits the oxidase activity of the enzyme to turn inactivator into substrate

The copper amine oxidases (CAOs) have evolved to catalyze oxidative deamination of unbranchedprimary amines to aldehydes. We report that a branched primary amine bearing an aromatization-prone moiety, ethyl 4-amino-4,5-dihydrothiophene-2-carboxylate (1), is recognized enantioselectively (S > R) by bovine plasma amine oxidase (BPAO) both as a temporary inactivator and as a substrate. Substrate activity results from an O(2)-dependent turnover of the covalently modified enzyme, with release of 4-aminothiophene-2-carboxylate (2) as ultimate product. Interaction of (S)-1 with BPAO occurs within the enzyme active site with a dissociation constant of 0.76 microM. Evidence from kinetic and spectroscopic studies, and HPLC analysis of stoichiometric reactions of BPAO with (S)-1, combined with a model study using a quinone cofactor mimic, establishes that the enzyme metabolizes 1 according to a transamination mechanism. Following the initial isomerization of substrate Schiff base to product Schiff base, a facile aromatization of the latter results in a metastable N-aryl derivative of the reduced cofactor aminoresorcinol, which is catalytically inactive. The latter derivative is then slowly oxidized by O(2), apparently facilitated partially by the active-site Cu(II), to form a quinonimine of the native cofactor that releases 2 upon hydrolysis or transimination with substrate amine. Preferential metabolism of (S)-1 is consistent with the preferential removal of the pro-Salpha-proton in metabolism of benzylamine by BPAO. This study represents the first report of product identification in metabolism of a branched primary amine by a copper amine oxidase and suggests a novel type of reversible mechanism-based (covalent) inhibition where inhibition lifetime can be fine-tuned independently of inhibition potency.     

Electrocatalytic O2 Reduction at a Bio‐inspired Mononuclear Copper Phenolato Complex Immobilized on a Carbon Nanotube Electrode

An original copper‐phenolate complex, mimicking the active center of galactose oxidase, featuring a pyrene group was synthesized. Supramolecular pi‐stacking allows its efficient and soft immobilization at the surface of a Multi‐Walled Carbon Nanotube (MWCNT) electrode. This MWCNT‐supported galactose oxidase model exhibits a 4 H⁺/4 e^? electrocatalytic activity towards oxygen reduction at a redox potential of 0.60 V vs. RHE at pH 5.     

Bio-mimicking galactose oxidase and hemocyanin, two dioxygen-processing copper proteins

The modelling of the active sites of metalloproteins is one of the most challenging tasks in bio-inorganic chemistry. Copper proteins form part of this stimulating field of research as copper enzymes are mainly involved in oxidation bio-reactions. Thus, the understanding of the structure-function relationship of their active sites will allow the design of effective and environmental friendly oxidation catalysts. This perspective illustrates some outstanding structural and functional synthetic models of the active site of copper proteins, with special attention given to models of galactose oxidase and hemocyanin.
