Rapid phosphorus triester hydrolysis catalyzed by bimetallic tetrabenzimidazole complexes.
Bimetallic complexes based on the binucleating ligand N,N,N',N'-tetrakis[(2-benzimidazolyl)methyl]-2-hydroxy-1,3-diaminopropane (1L) and its new toluoyl ester derivative (2L) catalyze the hydrolysis of phosphorus triesters at ambient temperature with activities rivalling the fastest known systems.
