Currently, catalysts with oxidative activity are required to create valuable chemical, agrochemical, and pharmaceutical products. The catechol oxidase activity is a model reaction that can reveal new oxidative catalysts. The use of complexes as catalysts using iron (III) and structurally simple ligands such as pyrazine (pz), quinoxaline (qx), and phenazine (fz) has not been fully explored. To characterize the composition of the solution and identify the abundant species which were used to catalyze the catechol oxidation, the distribution diagrams of these species were obtained by an equilibrium study using a modified Job method in the HypSpec software. This allows to obtain also the UV-vis spectra calculated and the formation constants for the mononuclear and binuclear complexes with Fe including: [Fe(pz)], [Fe(pz)], [Fe(qx)], [Fe(qx)], [Fe(fz)], and [Fe(fz)]. The formation constants obtained were log β = 3.2 ± 0.1, log β = 6.9 ± 0.1, log β = 4.4 ± 0.1, log β = 8.3 ± 0.1, log β = 6.4 ± 0.2, and log β = 9.9 ± 0.2, respectively. The determination of the catechol oxidase activity for these complexes did not follow a traditional Michaelis-Menten behavior.
目前,需要具有氧化活性的催化剂来制造有价值的化学、农用化学品和药物产品。儿茶酚氧化酶活性是一种可以揭示新的氧化催化剂的模型反应。使用铁(III)和结构简单的配体(如吡嗪(pz)、喹喔啉(qx)和吩嗪(fz))作为催化剂的配合物的使用尚未得到充分探索。为了表征溶液的组成并确定用于催化儿茶酚氧化的丰富物种,使用 HypSpec 软件中的改进 Job 法进行平衡研究获得了这些物种的分布图。这还允许获得计算的 UV-vis 光谱和包含 Fe 的单核和双核配合物的形成常数:[Fe(pz)]、[Fe(pz)]、[Fe(qx)]、[Fe(qx)]、[Fe(fz)]和[Fe(fz)]。获得的形成常数分别为 log β = 3.2 ± 0.1、log β = 6.9 ± 0.1、log β = 4.4 ± 0.1、log β = 8.3 ± 0.1、log β = 6.4 ± 0.2 和 log β = 9.9 ± 0.2。这些配合物的儿茶酚氧化酶活性的测定不符合传统的米氏-门坦行为。
