ChemInform Abstract: Ordering of Metal Chelates on the Basis of Bilayer Assembly.

Abstract

The amphiphile (I), containing the azobenzene moiety in the hydrophobic part and a cyclic tetramine as the hydrophilic head, was dispersed in deionized water by sonication together with CuClz.

Functionalised 1,10-phenanthroline metallocatalysts as models for hydrolytic metalloenzymes

“…Moreover, aggregates of functionalised surfactants as biomimetic hydrolytic metallocatalysts have attracted considerable attention, homo and mixed metallomicelles are effective in promoting the cleavage of p h o ~p h o r i c , ' ~-' ~ and carboxylic esters. ' 5-- 19 Recently reversed mixed micelles,20 and functionalised vesicles [21][22][23] have also been investigated as metalloenzyme models.…”
