Abstract
Two copper (II) complexes, [Cu(L1)(Cl)2(H2O)2] (C1) and [Cu(L2)2(Cl)(H2O)]Cl (C2) synthesized by reacting bis(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)methane (L1) and bis(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)methane (L2) ligands with copper chloride dihydrate in methanol at room temperature, were employed as catalysts in the biomimetic oxidation reactions and their catalytic efficiency was investigated. The complex C1 was found to be highly efficient in mimicking the catalytic action of the enzyme catechol oxidase (CO) in the oxidation of 3,5-di-tert butyl catechol (3,5-DTBC) and the enzyme phenoxazinone synthase (PHS) in the oxidative coupling of 2-amino phenol (2-AP). The influence of solvent and pH on the catalytic reactions was also investigated. Comprehensive kinetic studies were carried out to understand the mechanism of catalytic reactions. Iodine-test and ESR experiments as well as DFT-energy profiling were carried out to support the proposed reaction mechanism.
期刊介绍:
Inorganica Chimica Acta is an established international forum for all aspects of advanced Inorganic Chemistry. Original papers of high scientific level and interest are published in the form of Articles and Reviews.
Topics covered include:
• chemistry of the main group elements and the d- and f-block metals, including the synthesis, characterization and reactivity of coordination, organometallic, biomimetic, supramolecular coordination compounds, including associated computational studies;
• synthesis, physico-chemical properties, applications of molecule-based nano-scaled clusters and nanomaterials designed using the principles of coordination chemistry, as well as coordination polymers (CPs), metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), metal-organic polyhedra (MPOs);
• reaction mechanisms and physico-chemical investigations computational studies of metalloenzymes and their models;
• applications of inorganic compounds, metallodrugs and molecule-based materials.
Papers composed primarily of structural reports will typically not be considered for publication.
