摘要:
Relative Zn-OR (R = H, Me, Et, Bu-t) heterolytic bond energies, of relevance to the catalytic cycle of liver alcohol dehydrogenase (LADH), have been determined by studying a series of alkoxide exchange equilibria. The alkoxides [Tp(But,Me)]ZnOR also undergo "hydride" transfer reactions which are related to the mechanism of action of LADH.
