A Water-Soluble Tetranuclear Zr~(IV) Compound Supported by the Klaui Tripodal Ligand: A Model of Zr~(IV) in Aqueous Media

摘要

The aqueous chemistry of metal ions[1] is of significance owing to its relevance to metal-catalyzed organic reactions in water and the important roles of metal ions in biological systems. We are particularly interested in the Zr~(IV)(aq) species that was found to be capable of hydrolyzing both activated and nonactivated phosphodiesters in weakly acidic solutions with efficiency similar to that of Ce~(IV).
