Hydrolysis kinetics of p-nitrophenylpicolinate catalyzed by schiff base Mn(III) complexes in Gemini 16-2-16 micellar solutiony

Abstract

Cl under a comparable condition, which confirmed that an open active centre is essential for modulating the activities of the two enzyme mimics. Moreover, under the conditions employed, hydrolytic rates of PNPP induced by these Mn(III) complexes were faster in Gemini 16-2-16 micelles than that in the micellar solution of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), a conventional analogue of Gemini 16-2-16.
