Abstract

A cone-calix[4]arene derivative, featuring a guanidinium group and a Cu-II ion ligated to a I,4,7-triazacyclononane (TACN) ligand at the 1,3-distal positions of the upper rim, effectively catalyzes the cleavage of 2-hydroxypropyl p-nitrophenyl phosphate (HPNP) and a number of diriboimdeoside 3',5'-monophosphates (NpN'). Kinetic and potentiometric measurements support the operation of a general-base/general-acid mechanism and demonstrate that the hydroxo form of the ligated Cu-II ion is the sole catalytically active species. Rate enhancements relative to the background hydrolysis reaction at 1 mM catalyst concentration are 6 x 10(5)-fold for HPNP and cluster around 10(7)-fold with the most favorable catalyst-NpN' combinations.
