Abstract
The ligand [30]aneN(6)O(4) (L1) binds two Zn(II) in aqueous solution. The stability constants of the L1 complexes have been determined at 308.1 K by means of potentiometric measurements. Dinuclear monohydroxo [Zn(2)L1OH](3+) and dihydroxo [Zn(2)L1(OH)(2)](2+) complexes are formed in aqueous solution from neutral to alkaline pH. The kinetics of promoted hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl acetate (NA) was studied. Both hydroxo species promote p-nitrophenyl acetate (NA) hydrolysis at 298.1 K with second-order kinetics. The activity of these species in NA hydrolysis is similar to that found for the mononuclear L2-Zn-OH(+) complex (L2 = [15]aneN(3)O(2)), indicating that the hydrolytic process takes place via a simple bimolecular mechanism. The hydrolysis rate of bis(p-nitrophenyl) phosphate (BNP) was measured in aqueous solution at 308.1 K in the presence of the L1and L2 zinc complexes. The hydrolysis rate of BNP is increased almost 10-fold by the dinuclear [Zn(2)L1(OH)(2)](2+) complex with respect to the mononuclear L2-Zn-OH(+) one. This result indicates a cooperative role of the two metals in the hydrolytic mechanism. A bridging coordination of the phosphate ester to the two Zn(II) ions can be suggested. The crystal structure of [Zn(2)L1(&mgr;-PP)(2)(MeOH)(2)](ClO(4))(2) (PP(-) = diphenyl phosphate) (space group P&onemacr;, a = 10.681(5) Å, b = 12.042(1) Å, c = 13.191(3) Å, alpha = 74.63(2) degrees, beta = 71.74(3) degrees, gamma = 68.41(2) degrees, V = 1476.4(8) Å(3), Z = 1, R = 0.0472, R(w)(2) = 0.1166) strongly supports this hypothesis, since in the [Zn(2)L1(&mgr;-PP)(2)(MeOH)(2)](2+) cation the diphosphate anions bridge the two metals. The dinuclear Zn(II) complexes of L1 provide a simple model system for hydrolytic dizinc enzymes.
