La（III）催化磷酸二（4－硝基苯酚）酯水解研究

The catalytic hydrolysis of bis（4-nitrophenyl）phosphate （BNPP） by lanthanum（Ⅲ） ion in the presence of amino-alcoholic ligands： diethanolamine （DEA） and triethanolamine （TEA）, was investigated kinetically at 30 ℃. The results indicated that the dinuclear dihydroxo complexes formed by lanthanum（Ⅲ） ion with aminoalcoholic ligands might be the catalytically active species which catalyze the hydrolysis of BNPP to different extents and the catalytic mechanism was believed to involve the synergism of double Lewis acid activation of the substrate and an intramolecular nucleophilic attack of a bridging oxo ligand.

Two polyether bridged dihydroxamic acids and their mono-and binuclear manganese(Ⅱ), zinc(Ⅱ) complexes have been synthesized and employed as models to mimic hydrolase in catalytic hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl picolinate (PNPP). The reaction kinetics and the mechanism of hydrolysis of PNPP have been investigated. The kinetic mathematical model for PNPP cleaved by the complexes has been proposed. The effects of the different central metal ion, mono-and binuclear metal, the pseudo-macrocyclic polyether constructed by polyethoxy group of the complexes, and reactive temperature on the rate for catalytic hydrolysis of PNPP have been examined. The results showed that the transition metal dthydroxamates exhibited high catalytic activity to the hydrolysis of PNPP, the catalytic activity of binuclear complexes was higher than that of mononuclear ones, and the pseudo-macrocyclic polyether might synergetically activate H20 coordinated to metal ion with central metal ion together and promote the catalytic hydrolysis of PNPP.     

Catalytic Kinetics of the Schiff Base Metal Complexes Bearing Side Chain of Cyclic morpholine in Carboxylic Ester Hydrolysis

It has been reported that two Schiff base transition metal complexes bearing the side chain of the morpholine ring were synthesized and characterized, and two complexes with the same base agent but different metal ions were used as a simulant hydrolase in the catalytic hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl picolinate in this paper. The mechanism of PNPP catalytic hydrolysis is proposed and supported by the results of the spectral analysis and the kinetic calculation. A kinetic mathematical model, applied to the calculation of the kinetic and thermodynamics parameters of PNPP catalytic hydrolysis, has been established on the foundation of the mechanism proposed. The result of the study shows that the two complexes have a good catalytic activity in PNPP catalytic hydrolysis, and the rate of the PNPP catalytic hydrolysis was increased with the increase of the pH values in the buffer solution and affected by the polarization effect of metal ion of the complexes.

Studies of copper (Ⅱ) complexes as catalysts for the hydrolysis of DNA

Hydrolysis of DNA is an important enzymatic reaction , but it is exceedingly difficult to mimic in the laboratory because of the stability of hydrolysis of DNA. In this paper, the cleavage activity of complexes formed between Cu(Ⅱ) and four different amino acid or amino acid methyl ester on DNA is studied by gel elec-trophoresis. It is found that DNA could be cleaved by Cu(Ⅱ)-L-His and Cu(Ⅱ)-L-His methyl ester complexes and the efficiency of cleavage is largely dependent on the metal ion-to-ligand ratio. Further experiments show that the cleavage of DNA mediated by Cu(Ⅱ)-L-His complexes occurs via a hydrolytic mechanism and the active chemical species that affects DNA cleavage is proposed to be MI2H and ML2H22 .     

Separation of Nine Metal Tetrekis (M-Bromic)phenylporphyrin Complexes by High-performance Liquid Chromatography

A series of compounds of meso-tetraphenylporphyrin (TPP) derivatives of fluorine, chlorine and bromine was synthesized. The sub-stituent of meta-Br has a great effect on the retention strength of TPP. The reversed-phase HPLC for the separation of some metal complexes of meso-tetrakis (m -bromic) phenylporphyrin (m-BrTPP) was studied. The resolution( R ) of the metal complexes increases significantly. A combination of an octadecyl-bonded stationary phase with a mobile phase such as methanol-acetone mixture has been proved tobe effective for the separation. The nine m-BrTPP complexes of Sn, Mg, Cd, Fe, Pb, Zn, Ni, Cu and Ag and m-BrTPP free acid were completely separated within 20min on a RP-18 column (YQG-C18, China, 5μm, 150×5mm i.d.) with a 65:35 (V/V) mixture of mefhanol and acetone. The detection limits are in the range of from 6 to 100ppt (pg/mL) for each metal except Pb. The recoveries of the eight trace metals in the synthetical mixture samples were in the range of 93-108%.

Study of the Intramolecular Reaction of an Activated Phosphate Ester in the Micelle System Containing Macrocyclic Complex

The intramolecular nucleophilic substitution of an activated phosphate diester, bis(p-nitrophenyl) phosphate (BNPP) as the nucleic acids substitute, was investigated. A macro-cyclic ligand and the corresponding Cu (II) and Ni (II) complexes were synthesized and characterized. The metallomicelles made up of macrocyclic divalent metal complex and micelle, as mimic hydrolytic metalloenzyme, was used in BNPP catalytic hydrolysis. The metallomicelles displayed higher catalytic activity although they do not attain the catalytic efficiency of enzymes. The analysis of specific absorption spectra showed that the course of the BNPP catalytic reaction was different from that of the BNPP spontaneous hydrolysis, and was an intramolecular nucleophilic substitution reaction. Based on the analytic result of the specific absorption spectrum, an intramolecular nucleophilic substitution mechanism of BNPP catalytic hydrolysis was proposed and a correlative kinetic mathematical model was established, and the corresponding thermodynamic and kinetic constant was calculated. The result of this study proved validity of the mechanism and mathematical model proposed in the article.     

Copper(II) complexes of novel N-alkylated derivatives of cis,cis-1,3,5-triaminocyclohexane. 2. Metal-promoted phosphate diester hydrolysis

Aqueous copper(II) N,N',N' '-trimethyl-cis,cis-1,3,5-triaminocyclohexane (Cu(tach-Me(3))(2+)(aq)) promotes the hydrolysis of activated phosphate diesters in aqueous medium at pH 7.2. This complex is selective for cleavage of the phosphate diester sodium bis(p-nitrophenyl) phosphate (BNPP), the rate of hydrolysis of the monoester disodium p-nitrophenyl phosphate being 1000 times slower. The observed rate acceleration of BNPP hydrolysis is slightly greater than that observed for other Cu(II) complexes, such as [Cu([9]aneN(3))Cl(2)] ([9]aneN(3) identical with 1,4,7-triazacyclononane). The rate of hydrolysis is first-order in phosphate ester at low ester concentration and second-order in [Cu(tach-Me(3))](2+)(aq), suggesting the involvement of two metal complexes in the mechanism of substrate hydrolysis. The reaction exhibits saturation kinetics with respect to BNPP concentration according to a modified Michaelis-Menten mechanism: 2CuL + S <==> LCu-S-CuL --> 2CuL + products (K(M) = 12.3 +/- 1.8 mM(2), k(cat) = (4.0 +/- 0.4) x 10(-)(4) s(-1), 50 degrees C) where CuL (triple bond) [Cu(tach-Me(3))](2+), S (triple bond) BNPP, and LCu-S-CuL is a substrate-bridged dinuclear complex. EPR data indicate that the dicopper complex is formed only in the presence of BNPP; the active LCu-S-CuL intermediate species then slowly decays to products, regenerating monomeric CuL.

Simplified speciation and improved phosphodiesterolytic activity of hydroxo complexes of trivalent lanthanides in aqueous DMSO

Potentiometric titrations of La(III), Nd(III), and Eu(III) perchlorates by Me 4N(OH) in 80% vol aq DMSO revealed formation of predominantly mononuclear complexes M(OH)n(3- n) (n = 1, 2, or 3) and a single binuclear complex M2(OH)(5+). Kinetics of the cleavage of two phosphate diesters, bis (4-nitrophenyl) phosphate (BNPP) and 2-hydroxypropyl 4-nitrophenyl phosphate (HPNPP), and a triester, 4-nitrophenyl diethyl phosphate (paraoxon), were studied as a function of metal and Me4N(OH) concentrations in the same medium. Rate of BNPP cleavage is second-order in metal and is proportional to the product of concentrations of M(OH)2(+) and M(OH)3 species. Rate of HPNPP cleavage is proportional to [M(OH)3](3) for La(III) and Nd(III) and to [M(OH)3](2) for Eu(III). Proposed mechanism for BNPP hydrolysis involves formation of M2(OH)5(diester) intermediate followed by intramolecular nucleophilic attack of hydroxide anion on the phosphoryl group of the substrate. Proposed mechanism for HPNPP cleavage involves formation of M3(OH)9(diester)(-) or M2(OH)6(diester)(-) intermediates followed by the general base-assisted intramolecular cyclization of HPNPP. The latter mechanism is supported by observation of the solvent kinetic isotope effect k H/kD = 2.9 for Eu(III) catalyzed HPNPP cleavage. The efficiency of catalysis in 80% DMSO is much higher than in water. The reaction rate observed in the presence of 1 mM metal in neutral solution surpasses the rate of background hydrolysis by a factor of 10(12)-10(13) for BNPP and 10(10) for HPNPP. The increased catalytic activity is attributed principally to the preferable solvation of lanthanide ions by DMSO, which creates an anhydrous microenvironment favorable for reaction in the coordination sphere of the catalyst. The catalytic activity of lanthanides in paraoxon hydrolysis is much lower with the estimated efficiency of catalysis about 10(5) for 1 mM La(III).     

Metallomicellar Catalysis: Hydrolysis of Phosphodiester with Cu(II) and Zn(II) Complexes in Micellar Solution

Abstract

The effects of two metal complexes of 2,2′‐dipyridylamine (bpya) ligand, [(bpya)Cu]Cl₂ and [(bpya)Zn]Cl₂, in promoting the hydrolysis of bis(4‐nitrophenyl) phosphate (BNPP) have been kinetically investigated in Brij35 micellar solution and at 298 K, pH ranging from 6.41 to 8.6. In neutral micellar solution at 298 K, pH 7.02, the rate constants for the catalytic hydrolysis of BNPP by [(bpya)Cu]Cl₂ and [(bpya)Zn]Cl₂ are 1.2 × 10⁶ times and 1.5 × 10⁵ times higher than those for the spontaneous hydrolysis, respectively. Kinetic studies show that the active species in the catalytic hydrolysis of BNPP is the aquo‐hydroxy form, and the relative kinetic and thermodynamic parameters indicate that the mechanism of the reaction involves intramolecular nucleophilic attack on the metal center‐bound diester.     

Studies on the reaction kinetics and the mechanism of hydrolysis of bis(4-nitrophenyl)phosphate (BNPP) by hydroxamic acid complexes containing benzo-15-crown-5

A hydroxamic acid (HL) containing benzo-15-crown-5 and their copper(II), zinc(II), cobalt(II) and manganese(II) complexes have been synthesized and studied as catalysts for the cleavage of bis(4-nitrophenyl)phosphate (BNPP). The catalytic properties of these complexes and the kinetics and mechanism of BNPP hydrolysis have been investigated. The kinetic mathematical model of BNPP cleavage catalyzed by these complexes has been proposed. The effects of reaction temperature and metal ion in the complexes on the rate of BNPP catalytic hydrolysis have been discussed. The results show that the hydroxamic acid complexes containing benzo-15-crown-5 exhibit high activity in the BNPP catalyzed hydrolysis; the pseudo-first-order-rate constants of BNPP hydrolysis catalyzed by the complexes increase along with the increases of pH of the buffer solution from 7.50 to 9.50; the activity of different metal ions decreases in the order: Co²⁺ > Cu²⁺ > Zn²⁺ > Mn²⁺; the pseudo-first-order-rate constants of BNPP hydrolysis catalyzed by the complexes is 2.24 × 10⁵ ~ 3.24 × 10⁵ times as large as that of spontaneous hydrolysis of BNPP.     

Metallomicellar catalysis: hydrolysis of phosphate monoester and phosphodiester by Cu(II), Zn(II) complexes of pyridyl ligands in CTAB micellar solution

The catalytic hydrolysis of bis(p-nitrophenyl) phosphate (BNPP) and p-nitrophenyl phosphate (NPP) by metallomicelles composed of Cu(II) or Zn(II) complexes of bispyridine-containing alkanol ligands in CTAB micellar solution was investigated at 30 degrees C. The experimental results indicate that the complexes with a 1:1 ratio of ligands to metal ions for ligands 1 (1,7-bis(6-hydroxymethyl-2-pyridyl)-2,6-dioxaheptane) and 3 (1,4-bis[(6-hydroxymethyl-2-pyridyl)-2-oxapropyl]benzene) and a 1:2 ratio of ligands to metal ions for ligand 2 (1,14-bis(6-hydroxymethyl-2-pyridyl)-2,13-dioxatetradecane) in CATB micellar solution are the active species for the catalytic hydrolysis of BNPP and NPP, respectively. The ternary complex kinetic model for metallomicellar catalysis was employed to obtain the relative kinetic and thermodynamic parameters, which demonstrated the catalytic mechanism for the hydrolysis of BNPP and NPP by metallomicelles.
