The hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl picolinate (PNPP) catalyzed by the binuclea
r complexes bis-(N-(2-deoxy-beta -D-glueopyranosyl-2-[3-carboxyl-salicylald
imino])) M-2(II) (M = Cu, Zn, Co) was investigated kinetically by observing
the rates of the release of p-nitrophenol in the presence of surfactant (h
exadecyltrimethylammonium bromide CM at different pHs and 25 degreesC. The
scheme for binuclear complex metallomicelle catalyzed reaction acting mode
involving a ternary complex composed of ligand, metal ion and substrate in
micelle was established and the relative kinetic and thermodynamic paramete
rs (k(N), K-s, pK(a)) were obtained. The reaction is discussed in terms of
a bifunctional catalytic mechanism.
