Structure, magnetic properties and catecholase activity study of oxo-bridged dinuclear copper(II) complexes
摘要:
Six alkoxy-bridged dinuclear copper(II) complexes with catecholase-like sites, [Cu(L-1)(NCS)], (1), [Cu(L-2)(CH3CO2)](2).2H(2)O (2), [Cu(L-3)(NCO)](2) (3), [Cu(L-4)(NCS)](2) (4), [Cu(L-5)(NCS)](2) (5), and [Cu(L-4)(Cl)](2) (6), where HL1 = 2-(hydroxymethyl)-pyridine, HL2 = 6-methyl-2-pyridine-methanol, HL3 = 2-(2-hydroxyethyl)-pyridine, HL4 = 1-dimethylamino-2-methyl-1-propanol, and HL5 = 1-dimethylamino-2-propanol, respectively), have been prepared and characterized. The single crystal X-ray analysis show that the structures of complexes 1-6 are dimeric with two adjacent copper(II) atoms bridged by pairs of mu-oxy atoms from the alkoxyl group of the ligands. Magnetic susceptibility measurements in the temperature range 2-300 K for complexes 1-6 indicate significant antiferromagnetic coupling between the copper(II) atoms. The kinetic studies on catecholase activity of complexes for the oxidation of 3,5-di-tert-butylcatechol by O-2 was studied and it found that the complexes with the bond distance of Cu(II)...Cu(II) located near 2.98 to similar to 2.99 Angstrom show high catecholase activity. The reaction rate constant for the catecholase activity was obtained by Michaelis-Menten model. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
