Phosphate monoester hydrolysis at tricopper site: The advantage and disadvantage of closely assembled trimetallic active sites

Ni3 versus Ni30: A Truncated Octahedron Metal–Organic Cage Constructed with [Ni5(CN)4]6+ Squares and Tripodal Tris‐tacn Ligands That are Large and Flexible

“…[26][27][28][29] The resulted trinuclear metal complexes have been shown to be able to captureb iologically relevant m 3 -oxoanions, such as phosphate and carbonate, and effectively catalyze the hydrolysis of phosphate esters. [26][27][28][29] The resulted trinuclear metal complexes have been shown to be able to captureb iologically relevant m 3 -oxoanions, such as phosphate and carbonate, and effectively catalyze the hydrolysis of phosphate esters.…”

“…Recently,C ao and Lippardd esigned as eries of multidentate tripodal ligandsu sing the tribenzylamine scaffold functionalizing either the ortho or meta position with different ligand appendages. [26][27][28][29] The resulted trinuclear metal complexes have been shown to be able to captureb iologically relevant m 3 -oxoanions, such as phosphate and carbonate, and effectively catalyze the hydrolysis of phosphate esters. In the course of exploring this ligand system, we found that such tris(xylyl) linker arms are highly flexible, and ligands functionalizing att he meta positions have various conformations.…”
