Effects Of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Pendant-Armed Ligands On The Catecholase Activity Of Dinuclear Copper(Ii) Complexes
JOURNAL OF THE BRAZILIAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY(2021)
摘要
Herein, we present three new binuclear copper(II) complexes containing different polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, able to catalyze the oxidation of 3,5-di-tert-butylcathecol, a model substrate for catechol oxidase. The ligands and complexes were successful characterized in solid and solution states. The structure of C1 was determined by X-ray crystallography and it contains a [CuII2(L1-?-phenoxo)(OAc)(H2O)2] unit, with two coppers in a pyramidal square geometry and a large distance of 3.715 ? between the copper(II) centers. All complexes (C1, C2 and C3) were found to be effective catalysts in the oxidation of 3,5-di-tert-butylcathecol to its quinone and C1 provided the highest catalytic constants at the three pH values studied. In addition to their potential use as a biomimetic catalyst in catechol oxidation, the interaction of these complexes with deoxyribonucleic acid from calf thymus (CT-DNA) was also studied, and C3 showed the greatest affinity with nucleic acids.
