Catalizadores biomiméticos autoensamblados
En la presente tesis se destaca la importancia de la investigación en la
síntesis de nuevos modelos artificiales de manganeso capaces de mimetizar el
comportamiento catalítico de los enzimas naturales del CLO, catalasas y peroxidasas.
En la Naturaleza estos enzimas se encuentran en forma de complejos de manganeso
di- o tetranucleares, estabilizados por restos aminoácidos de cadenas proteicas.
Para este fin, el diseño de los ligandos es un paso fundamental. Los ligandos,
además de facilitar la red de interacciones supramoleculares, deben de tener una
capacidad de estabilización del manganeso en estados de oxidación elevados para así
poder realizar las funciones oxidativas que realizan las manganoenzimas en los
procesos biológicos en los que participan. En consecuencia, en este trabajo, se han
seleccionado diferentes tipos de ligandos: ligandos imino-imino, ligandos amido-amido
y amino-imino
Electrochemical Conversion of the Lignin Model Veratryl Alcohol to Veratryl Aldehyde Using Manganese(III)-Schiff Base Homogeneous Catalysts
Lignin and other colored structures need to be bleached after the Kraft process in the pulp industry. Development of environmentally-safe bleaching catalysts or electrocatalysts constitutes an attractive strategy for selective removal of lignin. Seven manganese(III)-complexes with Schiff base ligands 1–7 were synthetized and characterized by different analytical and spectroscopic techniques. The tetragonally elongated octahedral geometry for the manganese coordination sphere and the global µ-aquo dimeric structure were revealed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies for 1, Mn2L12(H2O)2(N(CN)2)2 (N(CN)2 = dicyanamide). Complexes 1–4 behave as more efficient peroxidase mimics as compared to 5–7. Electrochemical oxidation of the lignin model veratrylalcohol (VA) to veratrylaldehyde (VAH) is efficiently catalyzed by a type of dimanganese(III) complexes in a chlorine-free medium. The electrocatalytic reaction proceeds through the oxidation of chloride into hypochlorite at alkaline pH along with the formation of hydrogen from water as a subproductThis research was funded by Xunta de Galicia (GRC GI-1584-ED431C2018/13 Suprabioin Research Group, and MetalBIO Network ED431D 2017/01)S
Synthetic Route to Novel Asymmetric Tetradentate Ligands Containing Both Amino and Imino Groups
The 18th International Electronic Conference on Synthetic Organic Chemistry session General Organic SynthesisThe synthesis of a new asymmetric ligand (E)-4-bromo-2-(((2-((5-bromo-2-hydroxybenzyl)(methyl)amino)ethyl)imino)methyl)phenol, which was conceived to model the asymmetry in the active site of peroxidase/catalase mimics, is reported. The new synthetic route involves seven steps: 1) obtention of phthalimido-acetal; 2) Acetal deprotection; 3) Synthesis of the salicylamine; 4) Obtention of the benzoxacine; 5) Reduction of the benzoxacine with NaBH3CN; 6) Reduction with hydrazine to form salycilamine; 7) Synthesis of the final ligand by condensation of salicylamine with salycilaldehyde. All organic products were characterised by microanalysis and 1H NMR, IR and mass spectroscopie

Biomimetic Catalysts for Oxidation of Veratryl Alcohol, a Lignin Model Compound
Kraft pulp has to be bleached to eliminate the chromophoric structures, which cause a darkening of the pulp. In Nature, an equivalent role is assumed by ligninolytic enzymes such as lignin peroxidases, manganese peroxidases and laccases. The development of low molecular weight manganese peroxidase mimics may achieve environmentally-safe bleaching catalysts for the industry. Herein we report the synthesis and characterization of six manganese(III) complexes 1–6, incorporating dianionic hexadentate Schiff base ligands (H2L1-H2L4) and different anions. Complex 4, Mn2L22(H2O)2(DCA)2 was crystallographically characterized. Complexes 1–4 behave as more efficient mimics of peroxidase in contrast to 5–6. We have studied the use of these complexes as catalysts for the degradation of the lignin model compound veratryl alcohol. The biomimetic catalysts were used in conjunction with chlorine-free inexpensive co-oxidants as dioxygen or hydrogen peroxide. Yields up to 30% of veratryl alcohol conversion to veratraldehyde have been achieved at room temperature in presence of air flow using 0.5% of catalyst
Synthesis, characterization, and catalytic studies of Mn(III)-Schiff base-dicyanamide complexes: checking the rhombicity effect in peroxidase studies
The condensation of 3-methoxy-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde and the diamines 1,2-diphenylendiamine, 1,2-diamine-2-methylpropane and 1,3-propanediamine yielded the dianionic tetradentate Schiff base ligands N,N′-bis(2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzylidene)-1,2-diphenylendiimine (H2L1), N,N′-bis(2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzylidene)-1,2-diamino-2-methylpropane (H2L2) and N,N′-bis(2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzylidene)-1,3-diaminopropane (H2L3) respectively. The organic compounds H2L1 and H2L2 have been characterized by elemental analysis, IR, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopies and mass spectrometry electrospray (ES). The crystal structure of H2L2 in solid state, solved by X-ray crystallography, is highly conditioned in the solid state by two N-H•••N intramolecular interactions. The synthesis of three new manganese(III) complexes 1–3, incorporating these ligands, H2L1–H2L3, and dicyanamide (DCA), is reported. The complexes 1–3 have been physicochemically characterized by elemental analysis, IR and paramagnetic 1H NMR spectroscopy, ESI mass spectrometry, magnetic moment at room temperature and conductivity measurements. Complex 1 has been crystallographically characterized. The X-ray structure shows the self-assembly of the Mn(III)-Schiff base-DCA complex through µ-aquo bridges between neighbouring axial water molecules and also by stacking interactions, establishing a dimeric structure. The manganese complexes were also tested as peroxidase mimics for the H2O2-mediated reaction with the water-soluble trap ABTS, showing complexes 1-2 relevant peroxidase activity in contrast with 3. The rhombicity around the metal ion can explain this catalytic behaviourThe authors are grateful for the financial support given by the Xunta de Galicia (GRC2014/025)S
Mimicking Peroxidase Activity by a Manganese(II) Complex Involving a New Asymmetric Tetradentate Ligand Containing Both Amino and Imino Groups
The asymmetric ligand (E)-4-bromo-2-(((2-((5-bromo-2-hydroxybenzyl)(methyl)amino)ethyl)imino)methyl)phenol has been prepared by a novel seven-step route. All organic compounds isolated in each step have been characterised by elemental analysis, infrared and 1H NMR spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry. Interaction of this ligand with manganese has been investigated employing an electrochemical method. This method leads to the formation of a neutral manganese(II) complex 7 in high yield and purity. The complex has been thoroughly characterised by elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, magnetic susceptibility measurements, and cyclic voltammetry. Complex 7 behaves as peroxidase mimic in the presence of the water-soluble trap ABTS, probably due to its ease to coordinate the substrate molecule
