Abstract: The kinetics of p-nitrophenyl acetate(NA) hydrolysis catalyzed by Cu(Ê) complexes of ligands N,NØ-bis-(2-hydroxyethyl)-ethylenediamine(L1) and N-(2-hydroxybenzyl)-3-amino-propan-1-ol(HL2) and Zn(Ê) complexes of ligands N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-NØ-(2-hydroxybenzyl)-ethylenediamine(HL3) and 3,6,9-triaza-1-nonanol(L4) was determined spectrophotometrically at (25±0.1) ℃ and I=0.10 mol/L KNO3 in U(CH3CN)=10% at pH 6.5—9.0(50 mmol/Lbuffers), and the second-rate constants kC for the catalysis of NAester hydrolysis were obtained. The experimental results indicate that coordinated alkoxides Cu(Ê)… -ORand Zn(Ê)… -ORyielded at neutral pHare strong nucleophiles, and the complexes have a strong ability to catalyze the hydrolysis of NAester following the double-catalysis mechanism, with kC values of 6.72×10-2, 0.126 , 4.55×10-2 and 7.66×10-2 mol-1·L·s-1.
