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.

Hydrolysis of PNPP Catalyzed by Cu (II), Ni (II) Schiff Base Complexes in CTAB Micellar Solution

The kinetics of hydrolysis of p‐nitrophenyl picolinate(PNPP) catalyzed by metallomicelles formed from Cu (II), Ni (II) Schiff base complexes (CuL, NiL) and CTAB micelle were investigated in the pH range of 6.0–9.0 at 30°C. For the Cu (II) Schiff base complex CuL, the apparent rate constants (k _obsd) of PNPP hydrolysis initially increased with the increasing pH of reaction media, then fell off. For the Ni (II) Schiff base complex NiL, the k _obsd always increased with the increasing pH. The kinetic and thermodynamic parameters were calculated. The hydrolysis rate of PNPP catalyzed by Cu (II) complex was much larger than that by Ni (II) complex in CTAB micellar solution. The catalytic mechanism of the PNPP hydrolysis was discussed in detail, and the possibly active specie for the catalytic hydrolysis of PNPP was the monohydroxo metal complex.     

Dioxygen Affinity and Catalytic Performance of Bis-(furaldehyde) Schiff Bases Co(II) Complexes in Cyclohexene Oxidation

As mimetic oxygen carrier or oxidation catalyst, Schiff base cobalt complexes such as Co (II) salen have been widely studied1-4. However their high-price greatly limited their application. The synthesis of cheap furaldehyde Schiff bases and their complexes with Co (II), as well as the dioxygen affinity and biomimetic catalytic oxidation performance of these complexes are worth trying to study. In this paper, the saturated dioxygen uptake of cobalt complexes with different bis-(furaldehyd…     

Bioactive Co(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II) Complexes Containing a Tridentate Sulfathiazole-Based (ONN) Schiff Base

New Co(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II) complexes were synthesized with the Schiff base ligand obtained by the condensation of sulfathiazole with salicylaldehyde. Their characterization was performed by elemental analysis, molar conductance, spectroscopic techniques (IR, diffuse reflectance and UV–Vis–NIR), magnetic moments, thermal analysis, and calorimetry (thermogravimetry/derivative thermogravimetry/differential scanning calorimetry), while their morphological and crystal systems were explained on the basis of powder X-ray diffraction results. The IR data indicated that the Schiff base ligand is tridentate coordinated to the metallic ion with two N atoms from azomethine group and thiazole ring and one O atom from phenolic group. The composition of the complexes was found to be of the [ML₂]∙nH₂O (M = Co, n = 1.5 (1); M = Ni, n = 1 (2); M = Cu, n = 4.5 (3)) type, having an octahedral geometry for the Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes and a tetragonally distorted octahedral geometry for the Cu(II) complex. The presence of lattice water molecules was confirmed by thermal analysis. XRD analysis evidenced the polycrystalline nature of the powders, with a monoclinic structure. The unit cell volume of the complexes was found to increase in the order of (2) < (1) < (3). SEM evidenced hard agglomerates with micrometric-range sizes for all the investigated samples (ligand and complexes). EDS analysis showed that the N:S and N:M atomic ratios were close to the theoretical ones (1.5 and 6.0, respectively). The geometric and electronic structures of the Schiff base ligand 4-((2-hydroxybenzylidene) amino)-N-(thiazol-2-yl) benzenesulfonamide (HL) was computationally investigated by the density functional theory (DFT) method. The predictive molecular properties of the chemical reactivity of the HL and Cu(II) complex were determined by a DFT calculation. The Schiff base and its metal complexes were tested against some bacterial strains (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, and Bacillus subtilis). The results indicated that the antibacterial activity of all metal complexes is better than that of the Schiff base.

PNPP Cleavage Catalyzed by Schiff Base Mn(III) Complexes Containing Polyether Side Chains in CTAB Micellar Solutions

Two Schiff base Mn(III) complexes containing polyether side chain were synthesized and characterized. The catalytic hydrolysis of p‐nitrophenyl picolinate (PNPP) by the two complexes in the buffered CTAB micellar solution in the pH range of 6.60–8.20 was investigated kinetically in this study. The influences of acidity, temperature, and structure of complex on the catalytic cleavage of PNPP were also studied. The mechanism of PNPP hydrolysis catalyzed by Schiff base manganese(III) complexes in CTAB micellar solution was proposed. The relative kinetic and thermodynamic parameters were determined. Comparied with the pseudo‐first‐order rate constant (k ₀) of PNPP spontaneous hydrolysis in water, the pseudo‐first‐order rate constants (k _obsd) of PNPP catalytic hydrolysis are 1.93×10³ fold for MnL¹ ₂Cl and 1.06×10³ fold for MnL² ₂Cl in CTAB micellar solution at pH=7.00, T=25°C, and [S]=2.0×10^?4mol · dm^?3, respectively. Furthermore, comparing the k _obsd of PNPP catalytic hydrolysis by metallomicelles with that of PNPP hydrolysis catalyzed only by metal complexes or CTAB micelle at the above‐mentioned condition, metallomicelles of MnL₂(L=L¹, L²) Cl/CTAB exhibit notable catalytic activities for promoting PNPP hydrolysis, and MnL¹ ₂Cl/CTAB system is superior in promoting cleavage of PNPP relative to MnL² ₂Cl/CTAB system under the same experimental conditions. The results indicate that the rate of PNPP catalytic cleavage is influenced by the structures of the two complexes, the acidity of reaction systems, and the solubilization of PNPP in CTAB micelles.     

Oxidation of Styrene to Benzaldehyde Catalyzed by Schiff Base Functionalized Triazolylidene Ni(II) Complexes

Four new Schiff base functionalized 1,2,3-triazolylidene nickel complexes, [Ni-(L₁NHC)₂](PF₆)₂; 3, [Ni-(L₂NHC)₂](PF₆)₂; 4, [Ni-(L₃NHC)](PF₆)₂; 7 and [Ni-(L₄NHC)](PF₆)₂; 8, (where L₁NHC = (E)-3-methyl-1-propyl-4-(2-(((2-(pyridin-2-yl)ethyl)imino)methyl)phenyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-3-ium hexafluorophosphate(V), 1, L₂NHC = (E)-3-methyl-4-(2-((phenethylimino)methyl)phenyl)-1-propyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-3-ium hexafluorophosphate(V), 2, L₃NHC = 4,4′-(((1E)-(ethane-1,2-diylbis(azanylylidene))bis(methanylylidene))bis(2,1-phenylene))bis(3-methyl-1-propyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-3-ium) hexafluorophosphate(V), 5, and L₄NHC = 4,4′-(((1E)-(butane-1,4-diylbis(azanylylidene))bis(methanylylidene))bis(2,1-phenylene))bis(3-methyl-1-propyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-3-ium) hexafluorophosphate(V), 6), were synthesised and characterised by a variety of spectroscopic methods. Square planar geometry was proposed for all the nickel complexes. The catalytic potential of the complexes was explored in the oxidation of styrene to benzaldehyde, using hydrogen peroxide as a green oxidant in the presence of acetonitrile at 80 °C. All complexes showed good catalytic activity with high selectivity to benzaldehyde. Complex 3 gave a conversion of 88% and a selectivity of 70% to benzaldehyde in 6 h. However, complexes 4 and 7–8 gave lower conversions of 48–74% but with higher (up to 90%) selectivity to benzaldehyde. Results from kinetics studies determined the activation energy for the catalytic oxidation reaction as 65 ± 3 kJ/mol, first order in catalyst and fractional order in the oxidant. Results from UV-visible and CV studies of the catalytic activity of the Ni-triazolylidene complexes on styrene oxidation did not indicate any clear possibility of generation of a Ni(II) to Ni(III) catalytic cycle.
