Abstract: Metallomicelles as the model of hydrolytic metalloenzymes have begun recently1. Examples are the metal-ion complexes of lipophilic imidazoles2 and pyridines3 co-micelled with surfactants. Herein we report the complexes of a novel macrocyclic 12-membered di-oxotetraamine ligand bearing bis-hydroxy groups as functional pendants which can mimic the catalytic function of carboxypeptidase A in micellar media.

Key words: metallomicelles, lipophilic complexes, amino acid esters, hydrolysis
