Abstract
- Two novel phenoxo-bridged homobinuclear copper(II) complexes with L-threonine Schiff bases as artificial hydrolases were prepared and screened for catalytic activity in the hydrolysis ofp-nitrophenyl picolinate (PNPP), a classic model of carboxylic acid esters. Kinetic analysis testified that the two complexes exhibited good activity with rate acceleration of two orders of magnitude in aqueous solution. In addition, the one copper(II) complex containing 5ā-bromo substituent was much more efficient than its bromo-free analogue, showing approximately 1.1ā¼5.3 times kinetic advantage over a pH range of 7.00ā8.20.
