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.

A series of novel heteronuclear Ln(Ⅲ)-Cu(Ⅱ) complexes with noncyclic polyether-amino acid Schiff base were synthesized. The general formula is [LnCu_2(H_2TALY)(NO_3)_5](NO_3)_2' nH_2O(Ln=La, Nd, Sm, Gd, n= 4; Ln=Yb, Y, n=3), where H_2TALY = tetraglycol aldehyde bis-lysine Schiff base.

Two new zinc(II) complexes, [Zn2L2Cl4]·2[ZnL(CH3OH)Cl2] 1 and [ZnL2(NO3)2] 2, were synthesized by reacting ZnX2·nH2O (X = Cl-, NO3-) and a Schiff base ligand 2-[(4-me- thylphenylimino)methyl]-6-methoxyphenol (C15H15NO2, L) which was obtained by the condensation of o-vanillin (2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde) with p-toluidine.

Studies on PNPP Hydrolysis Catalyzed by Schiff Base Cobalt（Ⅱ） Complexes

Two cobalt（Ⅱ） complexes of the Schiff base with morpholino or aza-crown ether pendants, CoL^1 and CoL^2, as mimic hydrolytic metalloenzyme, were used in catalytic hydrolysis of carboxylic ester （PNPP）. The analysis of specific absorption spectra of the hydrolytic reaction systems indicates that key intermediates, made up of PNPP and Co（Ⅱ） complexes, have been formed in reaction processes of the PNPP catalytic hydrolysis. The mechanism of PNPP catalytic hydrolysis has been proposed based on the analytic result of specific absorption spectrum. A kinetic mathematical model, applied to the calculation of the kinetic parameter of PNPP catalytic hydrolysis, has been established based on the mechanism proposed. The acid effect of buffer solution, structural effect of the complexes, and effect of temperature on the rate of PNPP hydrolysis catalyzed by the complexes have been also discussed.     

Pt(Ⅱ), Pd(Ⅱ) and Ni(Ⅱ) Complexes Binding to the N(7) Position of Guanine: Influence on the Guanine and Watson-crick GC Base Pair

Comprehensive ab initio calculations were performed on the coordination of Pt(Ⅱ),Pd(Ⅱ) and Ni(Ⅱ) adducts to the N(7) of guanine and guanine-cytosine (GC) base pair at the DFT level. The fully optimized geometries of the metal complexes were obtained and the stabilization energies of the interaction between metal adducts and nucleobase were calculated with B3LYP method by using 6-31^* basis set for the light atom. While the effective core potential (ECP) is used for metal cation. The results show that both cispalladium and cisnickel cause similar geometric changes of the base pair as cisplatin. For the coordination of metal adducts to guanine, platinum adduct possesses the highest stabilization energy; but the interaction between metal-guanine and cytosine for nickel is larger than that for platinum and palladium. It is worthy to note that hydrolysis effect can also cause significant changes in H-bonds.
