漆酶是含铜金属酶,主要来源于漆树漆液(生漆)和真菌,分别称漆树漆酶和真菌漆酶。近年来,人们对漆酶的催化氧化反应的研究很感兴趣。已经发现漆酶的催化反应大多在水溶液中进行,氧化底物主要是邻、对苯二酚(胺)及其衍生物,对二茂铁(Fc-H)及其衍生物(Fc-R)的催化氧化尚不多见,对共存Fc-H和K_4Fe(CN)_6的催化氧化也未见报道,这可能与Fc-H和多数Fc-R不溶于水有关。本文选择二乙二醇单丁醚(DGBE)和磷酸盐缓冲液为混合溶剂,使Fc-H和K_4Fe(CN)_6以一定浓度共溶其中,考察了在该体系中漆树漆酶对Fc-H和K_4Fe(CN)_6的催化氧化反应。

铜基非贵金属氧还原电催化剂的研究进展

面对日益严重的全球能源危机,燃料电池作为一种清洁的能源转换装置在全世界范围内得到了广泛关注。燃料电池是一种能够使氢气、甲醇、甲酸和乙醇等小分子燃料和氧气发生氧化还原反应,并将其化学能转换为电能的新型装置。在燃料电池中,由于在阴极发生的氧气还原反应动力学速率缓慢而使得燃料电池的整体转换效率过低,目前商用的燃料电池一般采用贵金属铂作为催化剂来加速其反应。但由于铂的价格高昂且在反应过程中易被反应中间产物毒化而活性下降,使得燃料电池的整体成本过高,从而阻碍了燃料电池的实际商业化。为此,人们尝试利用非贵金属催化剂来替代铂基催化剂。找到一种廉价且高效的氧还原催化剂是目前燃料电池发展急需打破的瓶颈问题之一。近年来,人们发现铁、钴、锰等地表储量丰富的金属元素具有较高的氧还原催化活性。然而,作为一种最常见的金属元素,金属铜在氧还原催化剂方面研究较少。人们发现一些生物酶,如虫漆酶、细胞色素c氧化酶等能够高效地催化氧气还原,如虫漆酶在催化氧还原过程中仅表现出约20 mV的过电位,与金属铂(约200 mV)相比基本可忽略。通过研究这些活性生物酶,人们发现其活性中心均为含Cu的物质。进一步研究这些生物酶的活性位点,然后合成不同的铜基纳米材料去模拟酶的活性位点,以期望能够实现经济、高效催化氧还原反应。
　　本文总结了基于铜的纳米材料在催化氧还原方面的研究进展,首先介绍了一些氧还原实验测试中的基本概念,主要包括不同电解质条件下氧还原的反应机理以及常用的测试手段和性能评价指标。氧还原催化剂的性能应该综合活性、稳定性、抗毒化能力以及催化剂成本等多个方面来评价与比较。随后,我们概括性地介绍了铜基氧还原催化剂的发展现状。根据铜基催化剂的不同类型,我们主要分为三个部分进行介绍：(1)铜的复合物,这部分主要从模拟虫漆酶和模拟细胞色素c氧化酶两个方面分类介绍;(2)铜的化合物,这部分主要介绍了不同价态的铜的氧化物和铜的硫化物;(3)其它铜基催化剂,这部分主要介绍基于铜的尖晶石结构、有机框架材料及载体负载的铜纳米粒子作为氧还原催化剂,以及铜作为掺杂元素在提高锰的不同氧化物催化活性中的作用。最后,通过综合分析铜基氧还原催化剂的发展历程以及目前燃料电池的研究进展,我们对基于铜的氧还原催化剂的未来发展方向做了一些展望。继续研究、探索酶的氧还原活性位点以及机理依然是重中之重,只有完全理解了酶的催化机理,才能够很好的设计并合成材料来对其活性位点进行模拟,从而制备出高性能且低成本的铜基氧还原催化剂。希望本文能够使读者认识到燃料电池氧还原催化剂的发展现况,以及铜基氧还原催化剂目前存在的问题及其未来的发展方向。

Oxidation of vanadium(III) by hydrogen peroxide and the oxomonoperoxo vanadium(V) ion in acidic aqueous solutions: a kinetics and simulation study

The reaction between vanadium(III) and hydrogen peroxide in aqueous acidic solutions was investigated. The rate law shows first-order dependences on both vanadium(III) and hydrogen peroxide concentrations, with a rate constant, defined in terms of -d[H(2)O(2)]/dt, of 2.06 +/- 0.03 L mol(-)(1) s(-)(1) at 25 degrees C; the rate is independent of hydrogen ion concentration. The varying reaction stoichiometry, the appreciable evolution of dioxygen, the oxidation of 2-PrOH to acetone, and the inhibition of acetone formation by the hydroxyl radical scavengers, dimethyl sulfoxide and sodium benzoate, point to a Fenton mechanism as the predominant pathway in the reaction. Methyltrioxorhenium(VII) does not appear to catalyze this reaction. A second-order rate constant for the oxidation of V(3+) by OV(O(2))(+) was determined to be 11.3 +/- 0.3 L mol(-)(1) s(-)(1) at 25 degrees C. An overall reaction scheme consisting of over 20 reactions, in agreement with the experimental results and literature reports, was established by kinetic simulation studies.     

Effect of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide micelles on the ionic equilibrium and the reactivity of hydrogen peroxide toward electrophilic substrates

The acid-base equilibrium of hydrogen peroxide in aqueous solutions of CTAB and the reactivity of the peroxide anion toward 4-nitrophenyl diethylphosphate and 4-toluenesulfonate were studied. It was shown that the acid ionization rate constant of hydrogen peroxide is increased by three times with increase in the CTAB concentration from 0 to 0.03 M. This makes it possible to realize the decomposition of the substrates by their reaction with the peroxide anion at lower pH values in micellar cationic systems than in aqueous solutions. __________ Translated from Teoreticheskaya i éksperimental’naya Khimiya, Vol. 44, No. 2, pp. 83–89, March–April, 2008.     

Kinetics of redox polymer-mediated enzyme electrodes

Oxygen-reducing enzyme electrodes are prepared from laccase of Trametes versicolor and a series of osmium-based redox polymer mediators covering a range of redox potentials from 0.11 to 0.85 V. Experimentally obtained current density generated by the film electrodes is analyzed using a one-dimensional numerical model to obtain kinetic parameters. The bimolecular rate constant for mediation is found to vary with mediator redox potential from 250 s(-1) M(-1) when mediator and enzyme are close in redox potential to 9.4 x 10(4) s(-1) M(-1) when the redox potential difference is large. The value of the bimolecular rate constant for the simultaneously occurring laccase-oxygen reaction is found to be 2.4 x 10(5) s(-1) M(-1). The relationship between mediator-enzyme overpotential and bimolecular rate constant is used to determine the optimum mediator redox potential for maximum power output of a hypothetical biofuel cell with a planar cathode and a reversible hydrogen anode. For laccase of T. versicolor (E(e)(0) = 0.82), the optimum mediator potential is 0.66 V (SHE), and a molecular structure is presented to achieve this result.     

Fe(III) complexes of 1,4,8,11-tetraaza[14]annulenes as catalase mimics

The development of enzyme mimics of catalase which decompose hydrogen peroxide to water and molecular oxygen according to the 2:1 stoichiometry of native catalase and in aqueous solution at pH 7 and at micromolar concentrations of the enzyme model and hydrogen peroxide is reported. For this purpose, iron(III) complexes of 1,4,8,11-tetraaza[14]annulenes are prepared by various procedures. Efficacious preparations utilize reaction of the [N4] macrocyles with FeII salts in the presence of triphenylamine, followed by gentle oxidation of the FeII complexes by molecular oxygen or by tris(4-bromophenyl)aminium hexachloroantimonate. The complexes are characterized by SQUID magnetometry and by M?ssbauer, EPR, and UV/vis spectrometry. In the solid state, the iron(III) center of the catalytically active complexes exists in the intermediate (quartet, S = 3/2) spin state. Several of these complexes decompose hydrogen peroxide in aqueous buffer solution at pH 7.2 at room temperature with turnover numbers between 40 and 80. The apparent second-order rate constant for hydrogen peroxide decomposition is in the range of 1400-2400 M(-1) s(-1), about 3 orders of magnitude lower than the value for native catalase. Besides oxygen production, a non-oxygen releasing pathway of hydrogen peroxide decomposition is unveiled.     

Oxidation of thiocyanate by hydrogen peroxide - a reaction kinetic study by capillary electrophoresis

The oxidation reaction kinetics of thiocyanate by excess hydrogen peroxide has been studied by using capillary electrophoresis. The paper illustrates for the first time the use of capillary electrophoresis in studying reaction kinetics and provides a non-laborious way to determine the rate law and the rate constant for the above reaction in the pH range 6–8. Standard solutions of thiocyanate were mixed with buffer solutions of different pHs (6–8) and the reactions were initiated by adding appropriate volumes of hydrogen peroxide in capillary electrophoresis vials. Each reaction mixture was sampled at regular time intervals using an automatic injection programme to follow the progress of the reaction and identify the reaction products. The peak areas, representing the products, were integrated and their concentrations were quantified using calibration plots. The concentration profiles obtained from a series of experiments at a particular pH were then used to determine the rate law and the rate constant for the reaction. Furthermore, the rate of decomposition of hypothiocyanite formed during the reaction is determined for the first time. The rate law is zero order with respect to hypothiocyanite and first order with respect to hydrogen peroxide. The results indicate that the rate law for the oxidation reaction is zero order with respect to thiocyanate and first order with respect to hydrogen peroxide. The rate constant for the reaction at 25°C and at zero ionic strength is 3.6(±0.2)×10(⁻⁴) min⁻¹.     

Kinetic studies on the reaction of N-(2-hydroxyethyl)ethylenediamine-N,N′,N′-triacetate chromium(III) with hydrogen peroxide

The rate of reaction of Cr(III)L (L=N-(2-hydroxyethyl)ethylenediamine-N,N′,N′-triacetate) with hydrogen peroxide was studied in aqueous media and was found to yield Cr(VI) over the temperature range of 25–41 °C. The reaction was followed spectrophotometrically at 396 nm under pseudo-first order conditions with hydrogen peroxide in a large excess. The reaction follows first-order kinetics in Cr(III). The dependence of the rate constant on hydrogen peroxide concentration is attributed to the formation of an intermediate between the monohydroxy chromium(III) complex and hydrogen peroxide which decomposes in the rate determining step. At high hydrogen peroxide concentration, the order is changed from first to zero order.The values of the intramolecular electron transfer rate constant, the formation constant of the intermediate complex and the activation parameters were calculated.     

Determination of the Apparent Michaelis Constant of Glucose Oxidase Immobilized on a Microelectrode with Respect to Oxygen

We report determination of the apparent Michaelis constant of glucose oxidase (GOx) immobilized on a microelectrode with respect to oxygen. We used a GOx‐modified microelectrode as a probe for scanning electrochemical microscopy. We detected hydrogen peroxide generated by the enzyme reaction at the microelectrode under controlling the oxygen concentration using water electrolysis at an interdigitated array (IDA) electrode. The response depends on the oxygen concentration, which is regulated by the microelectrode position and the potential applied to the IDA electrode. We estimated the apparent Michaelis constant with respect to oxygen in this experimental condition to be about 0.28 mM.     

Reaction of H with H2O2 as observed by optical absorption of perhydroxyl radicals or aliphatic alcohol radicals and of OH with H2O2. A pulse radiolysis study

Two new procedures were employed for studying the reaction of hydrogen atoms with hydrogen peroxide. The absorption in the UV-range was observed either for an acidic aqueous solution containing only hydrogen peroxide or for a similar solution but also containing an aliphatic alcohol. From the increase in absorption of various alcohol radicals, a rate constant of 3.5×10⁷ dm³ mol⁻¹ s⁻¹ was determined. In addition, the rate constant for the reaction of hydroxyl radicals with hydrogen peroxide was determined to be 3.0×10⁷ dm³ mol⁻¹ s⁻¹.     

Catalytic decomposition of hydrogen peroxide in alkaline solutions

Catalytic activity of carbon, platinum-supported on high-area carbon, platinum, lead ruthenate, and ruthenium oxide towards hydrogen peroxide decomposition in alkaline solution is investigated using the rotating disk electrode technique. The heterogeneous rate constant for peroxide decomposition on these catalysts is determined from the slope of log(i_L) versus time, where i_L is the diffusion-limiting current corresponding to the concentration of peroxide at a given time. The order of catalytic activity is found to be platinum>lead ruthenate>ruthenium oxide>carbon. A general reaction mechanism for the peroxide decomposition on these catalysts is also proposed.     

Stepwise Oxidation of Thiophene and Its Derivatives by Hydrogen Peroxide Catalyzed by Methyltrioxorhenium(VII)

The oxidation of thiophene derivatives by hydrogen peroxide is catalyzed by methyltrioxorhenium(VII) (CH(3)ReO(3)). This compound reacts with hydrogen peroxide to form 1:1 and 1:2 rhenium peroxides, each of which transfers an oxygen atom to the sulfur atom of thiophene and its derivatives. Complete oxidation to the sulfone occurs readily by way of its sulfoxide intermediate. The rates for each oxidation step of dibenzothiophenes, benzothiophenes, and substituted thiophenes were determined. The rate constants for the oxidation of the thiophenes are 2-4 orders of magnitude smaller than those for the oxidation of aliphatic sulfides, whereas the rate constants are generally the same for the oxidation of the thiophene oxides and aliphatic sulfoxides. The rate constant for conversion of a sulfide to a sulfoxide (thiophene oxide) increases when a more electron-donating substituent is introduced into the molecule, whereas the opposite trend was found for the reaction that converts a sulfoxide to a sulfone (thiophene dioxide). Mechanisms consistent with this are proposed. The first trend reflects the attack of the nucleophilic sulfur atom of a thiophene center on a peroxide that has been electrophilically activated by coordination to rhenium. The second, more subtle, trend arises when both sulfoxide and peroxide are coordinated to rhenium; the inherently greater nucleophilicity of peroxide then takes control.
