“…The [HB(pz R,R' ) 3 ]Zn(OH) complexes (R = tBu, Ph, Cum, R' = H, Me, tBu) (Fig. 10a) (Alsfasser et al, 1991;Looney et al, 1993;, including [HB(pz R ) 3 ] -incorporating hydrogen bonding accepting ester substituents, react as functional models according to the carbonic anhydrase mechanism (Looney et al, 1993;Hammes et al, 2002;Bergquist et al, 2003;Lipton et al, 2003;Lipton & Ellis, 2007) and form bicarbonate from CO 2 . Hydrogensulfido, thiolato, phenolato and alcoholato [HB(pz R ) 3 ] -complexes are accessed by substitution reactions with H 2 S, thiols, phenols or alcohols Bergquist et al, 2000;Brand et al, 2001).…”
