title: Recognition of phosphate monoester dianion by an alkoxide-bridged dinuclear zinc(II) complex.
abstract: Recognition of phosphate monoester dianion by an alkoxide-bridged dinuclear zinc(II) complex (Zn2L3+) has been studied (L = alkoxide species of 1,3-bis[bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amino]propan-2-ol). Potentiometric pH titration study disclosed a 1 : 1 phenyl phosphate complexation with Zn2L3+ in aqueous solution. The dissociation constant (= [Zn2L3+][PhOPO3(2-)]/[Zn2L3+-PhOPO3(2-)]) is an extremely small value of 2.5 x 10(-8) mol dm(-3) at 25 degrees C with I = 0.10 (NaNO3). The X-ray crystal analysis of the dizinc(II) complex with p-nitrophenyl phosphate showed that the phosphate dianion binds as a bridging ligand to the two zinc(II) ions.
