The copper(II) complexes [(Ln)Cu(NO3)4·2(H2O)] (n = 1: 1, n = 2: 2) of the ammonium-functionalized ligands [6,6‘-(Me2HNCH2C⋮C)2bpy]2+ (L1) and [6,6‘-(Me3NCH2C⋮C)2bpy]2+ (L2) were prepared. Hydrolysis of the activated phosphodiester bis(p-nitrophenyl) phosphate (BNPP) by these complexes in ethanol−water 19:1 at 20 °C was investigated. The rate constants for cleavage of the bound phosphodiester at pH 6.6 are kcat = 4.4(±0.4) × 10-3 s-1 for (L1)Cu and kcat = 4(±1) × 10-6 s-1 for (L2)Cu. (L1)Cu accelerates hydrolysis of BNPP 4 × 107-fold and is 1000 times more reactive than (L2)Cu. This suggests that the high reactivity of (L1)Cu is related to the interaction of the acidic −NMe2H+ group with the phosphodiester substrate. Bifunctional binding of a phosphate ester by metal coordination and hydrogen bonding with one ammonium group is observed in the crystallographically characterized complex [(L1)2Cu2(1,3-μ-O3POPh)2(OH2)2](NO3)4 (3). A plausible mechanism of BNPP cleavage by (L1)Cu includes metal-hydroxide att...
