Abstract

Abstract: Protonated polyaza macrocycles that bind anionic substrates can perform reactions on the bound species and provide information on the various factors contributing to catalysis. They form stable complexes with adenosine triphosphate, adenosine diphosphate, and pyrophosphate, and these supramolecular assemblies catalyze the solvolysis of the bound substrates. 31P NMR was found to be a useful technique both for the kinetic ...
