A novel dizinc bridged hydroxamate model for hydroxamate inhibited zinc hydrolases.
Reaction of Zn(OAc)(2).2H2O with tmen leads to the formation of [Zn(tmen)(OAc)2] (I) which reacts with benzohydroxamic acid to form Zn(BA)2.H2O (II) and the novel dizinc hydroxamate bridged complex [Zn2(mu-OAc)2(OAc)(mu-BA)(tmen)] (III), which may also be prepared by self-assembly and whose structure closely mimics that of the native hydroxamate inhibited Aeromonas proteolytica aminopeptidase.
