A kind of new functional surfactant with substituted long alkyl pyridine was synthesized and its Ce(IV), Zn(II), and Cu(II) complexes were used as hydrolytic metalloenzyme models.

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.

All four complexes exhibit high catalytic activity and the rate increases with pH. The complexes of ligands containing a crown ether group exhibit higher catalytic activities than the non-crown analogs, and the catalytic activity of the phenyl-bridged Schiff base complex is larger than that of ethyl-bridged analogue for the same substituents and metal.     

Metallomicellar Catalysis Cleavage of p-Nitrophenyl Picolinate Catalyzed by Binuclear Metal Complexes Coordinating Tripeptide in CTAB Micellar Solution

The catalytic hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl picolinate (PNPP) by Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes coordinating tripeptide were studied kinetically by observing the rates of release of p-nitrophenol in the buffered micellar solution at 25 degrees C and different pH values. The experimental results indicate that 1 : 2 ligand : metal ion complexes in CTAB micellar solution are the active species in the reaction, and the complexes, especially that with Cu(II), efficiently catalyze the hydrolysis of PNPP. As a result, a kinetic model of binuclear metal complex catalysis involving a ternary complex in CTAB micellar solution is proposed to analyze the kinetic behavior of catalysis, and thus, relative kinetic and thermodynamic parameters are obtained. The results predict that the catalytic reaction by metallomicelle with binuclear complex involves a bifunctional mechanism. Copyright 2001 Academic Press.
