Activity of a New Metallomicelle Catalytic System on the Hydrolysis of bis(4-nitrophenyl) Phosphate Ester

A new metallomicellar system containing cerium ion (III), a macrocylic polyamine ligand and the hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) was constructed and used as catalyst in the hydrolysis of bis(4-nitrophenyl) phosphate ester (BNPP). The catalytic rate of BNPP hydrolysis was measured kinetically with UV-vis spectrophotometric method. The results indicated that the metallomicellar system exhibited relatively high stability and excellent catalytic function in BNPP hydrolysis, and the reaction rate of the BNPP catalytic hydrolysis, compared with BNPP spontaneous hydrolysis, increased by a factor of ca. 1 × 10⁸ due to the catalytic effect of the active species and the local concentration effect of the micelle in metallomicellar system. The experimental results also showed that the mono-hydroxy complex made of the macrocyclic polyamine ligand and cerium (III) is the real active species as catalyst in BNPP catalytic hydrolysis, and the micelles provide a useful catalytic environment for reaction. On the basis of the research results, the reaction mechanism of BNPP catalytic hydrolysis was proposed in this work.     

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.

5,5,7,12,12,14-Hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane (L) was synthesized and characterized. The kinetics of hydrolysis of bis(p-nitrophenyl)phosphate (BNPP) in the catalytic system containing macrocyclic ligand and cerium(III) was investigated. This catalytic system show high catalytic activity and better reproducibility and stability than other similar systems in the range of pH of around 5.6–7.2. The stoichiometry and spectral analysis showed that the real active species is the macrocyclic complex of cerium(III). Based on the analytical results of the specific absorption spectra, an intramolecular nucleophilic substitution mechanism for the catalytic hydrolysis of BNPP is proposed, a correlative kinetic mathematical model is established, and the corresponding thermodynamic and kinetic constants are calculated.

Catalytic rate of the BNPP hydrolysis was measured kinetically using the UV-VIS spectrophotometric method. The results indicate that the metallomicellar system has relatively high stability and excellent catalytic function in the BNPP hydrolysis; also, the reaction rate of the BNPP catalytic hydrolysis increased by a factor of ca. 1 × 10¹⁰ compared to the BNPP spontaneous hydrolysis due to the catalytic effect of the active species and the local concentration effect of the micelles in the metallomicellar system. Experimental results also showed that the mono-hydroxy complex containing the macrocyclic polyamine ligand and cerium(III) is the real active species in the BNPP catalytic hydrolysis, and that the micelles provide a useful catalytic environment for the reaction. On basis of the research results, the reaction mechanism of BNPP catalytic hydrolysis has been proposed.     

Construction and Activity of a New Catalytic System in the Hydrolysis of Bis(4‐nitrophenyl) Phosphate Ester

A new catalytic system containing an unsaturated heterocyclic nitrogen ligand and lanthanum(III) was constructed and used as a catalyst in the hydrolysis of bis(4‐nitrophenyl) phosphate ester (BNPP) in this work. The results indicated that this catalytic system showed greater catalytic activity in the hydrolysis of BNPP and better reproducibility and stability than other similar lanthanum(III) systems. The catalytic rate of the BNPP hydrolysis was about 10⁷‐fold faster than that of its spontaneous hydrolysis at the same conditions. Compared with the previous Cu(II) or Ni(II) complex containing the same ligand in the water, the activity of the macrocyclic La(III) complex increases ca. 10³‐fold for BNPP catalytic hydrolysis. The experimental data showed that the monohydroxy complex made of the heterocyclic nitrogen ligand and lanthanum(III) is the real active species as a catalyst in BNPP catalytic hydrolysis.

Studies on p-Nitrophenyl Picolinate Cleavage by Unsymmetrical Bis-Schiff Base Manganese(III) and Cobalt(II) Complexes in CTAB Surfactant Micellar Solution

The unsymmetrical bis-Schiff base manganese(III) and cobalt(II) complexes with either benzo-10-aza-crown ether pendants (MnL¹Cl, MnL²Cl) or morpholino pendant (MnL³Cl, CoL³) have been employed as models for hydrolase by studying the kinetics of their hydrolysis reactions with p-nitrophenyl picolinate (PNPP) in the buffered CTAB micellar solution. A kinetic model of PNPP cleavage catalyzed by these complexes is proposed. The effects of complex structures and reaction temperature on the rate of PNPP hydrolysis have been examined. All four complexes exhibit higher catalytic activity in the buffered CTAB micellar solution and the rate increases with pH of the buffered CTAB micellar solution under 25°C. The complexes containing a crown ether group exhibit higher catalytic activities than the free-crown analogues. The catalytic activity of manganese(III) complex is superiority over cobalt(II) complex in catalyzing hydrolysis of PNPP under the same ligand.

Phosphate Diester Cleavage Promoted by the Metallomicelles of Ce(III) Complexes of Aza-Crown Ether with Different Numbers of Nitrogen Atoms

The design of artificial hydrolase has attracted extensive attention due to their scientific significance and potential application in the field of gene medicine and molecular biology. This work reports the catalytic activation of two aza-crown ether Ce(III) complexes and their metallomicelles as artificial hydrolase in bis(4-nitrophenyl) phosphate ester (BNPP) hydrolysis. The chemical composition of two complexes was determined by the fluorescence spectra and the mole ratio method for electronic absorption spectra. The bonding effect of BNPP and solubilizing effect of the complexes were proved by a method of fluorescence spectroscopy. The catalytic activity of different catalytic systems in BNPP hydrolysis was measured with UV-vis spectrophotometric method. These catalytic systems showed high catalytic activity for promoting BNPP hydrolysis at the almost physiological conditions. BNPP hydrolysis rate in these catalytic system is about 10⁷- to 10⁹-fold faster than that of the BNPP spontaneous hydrolysis in aqueous solution at the same conditions. The metallomicelle systems exhibited higher catalytic activity compared with the complex solution systems in BNPP hydrolysis, and hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide micelle provides a useful catalytic environment for reaction. The acid effect of the catalytic system is ascribed to the formation of metal-bound hydroxide serving as a better kind of nucleophile.     

苯并氮杂冠醚-15-冠-5 Schiff碱钴(Ⅱ)配合物在胶束中催化BNPP水解研究

在催化磷酸二酯水解的模拟酶模型中,配合物配体结构扮演了非常重要的角色[1-2]。由于冠醚环具有主客体识别功能,在酶学理论中把它作为模拟酶的第一代生物有机体。镶嵌有过渡金属离子的冠醚配合物对催化磷酸二酯水解具有很好的活性[3];Schiff碱过渡金属离子配合物对催化磷酸二酯水解也具有很好的活性[4]。因此,冠醚Schiff碱过渡金属离子配合物对催化磷酸二酯水解也应具有很好的活性,这已有所报道[5]。但冠醚结构和过渡金属离子相同而取代基不同的配合物作为模拟酶催化磷酸二酯水解还未见报道。本文按文献设计合成了三种冠醚结构相同而取代基…     

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.     

Studies on BNPP Cleavage by Schiff Base Complexes Containing Benzoaza‐15‐Crown‐5 in DHAB Micellar Solution

Two novel benzoaza‐crown Schiff base cobalt (II) and manganese (III) complexes were synthesized and characterized. The hydrolysis of bis(4‐nitrophenyl) phosphate (BNPP) catalyzed by the two complexes was studied in buffer solution containing dihexadecyldimethylammonium bromide (DHAB) at 25°±0.1°C and different pH values. The kinetic mathematical model of BNPP hydrolysis was proposed, and the effects of different reaction conditions on BNPP hydrolysis were discussed. The results indicate that the two complexes (MnLCl and CoL) can efficiently accelerate the catalytic cleavage of BNPP in DHAB micellar solution. The pseudo‐first‐order rate constants (k _obsd) of BNPP hydrolysis catalyzed by the metallomicelles of MnLCl/DHAB and CoL/DHAB are 2.32×10⁷ times and 1.45×10⁷ times higher than that of the BNPP spontaneous hydrolysis, respectively. Possible reasons for the huge rate accelerations include the lower critical micelle concentration (cmc) of DHAB and formation of metallomicelles made of complexes and DHAB. Furthermore, the BNPP cleavage catalyzed only by the two complexes was investigated in buffer solution. It was found that the hydrolytic rates of BNPP catalyzed only by the two complexes were about 1% of those catalyzed by MnLCl/DHAB and CoL/DHAB systems at 25°C, pH=7.00, and [BNPP]=2.0×10^?4 mol · dm^?3.
