Detailed Mechanism of Phosphoanhydride Bond Hydrolysis Promoted by a Binuclear Zr-IV-Substituted Keggin Polyoxometalate Elucidated by a Combination of P-31, P-31 DOSY, and P-31 EXSY NMR Spectroscopy

摘要

A detailed reaction mechanism is proposed for the hydrolysis of the phosphoanhydride bonds in adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in the presence of the binudear Zr-IV-substituted Keggin type polyoxometalate (Et2NH2)(8)[{alpha-PW11O39Zr(mu-OH)(H2O)}(2)]center dot 7H(2)O (ZrK 2:2). The full reaction mechanism of ATP hydrolysis in the presence of ZrK 2:2 at pD 6.4 was elucidated by a combination of P-31, P-31 DOSY, and P-31 EXSY NMR spectroscopy, demonstrating the potential of these techniques for the analysis of complex reaction mixtures involving polyoxometalates (P0Ms). Two possible parallel reaction pathways were proposed on the basis of the observed reaction intermediates and final products. The 1D P-31 and P-31 DOSY spectra of a mixture of 20.0 mM ATP and 3.0 mM ZrK 2:2 at pD 6.4, measured immediately after sample preparation, evidenced the formation of two types of complexes, I1A and I1B, representing different binding modes between ATP and the Zr-IV-substituted Keggin type polyoxometalate (ZrK). Analysis of the NMR data shows that at pD 6.4 and 50 degrees C ATP hydrolysis in the presence of ZrK proceeds in a stepwise fashion. During the course of the hydrolytic reaction various products, including adenosine diphosphate (ADP), adenosine monophosphate (AMP), pyrophosphate (PP), and phosphate (P), were detected. In addition, intermediate species representing the complexes ADP/ZrK (I2) and PP/ZrK (IS) were identified and the potential formation of two other intermediates, AMP/ZrK (13) and P/ZrK (14), was-demonstrated. 31P EXSY NMR spectra evidenced slow exchange between ATP and I1A, ADP and 12, and PP and IS, thus confirming the proposed reaction pathways.
