title: Effect of hydrophobic interaction cooperating with double Lewis acid activation in a zinc(II) phosphodiesterase mimic.
abstract: The novel dinuclear Zn(ii) complex (1) containing a beta-CD dimer could accelerate BNPP (a DNA substitute) hydrolysis more efficiently than catalyze HPNP (a RNA substitute) transesterification with different mechanisms involved; the beta-CDs played remarkably different roles.
