sYCLIC PHENOL SULFIDE-METAL COMPLEXES, CATALYSTS COMPRISING THE SAME AND ANALYTICAL METHODS FOR HYDROGEN PEROXIDE

摘要

Provided is a metal complex which can be used in applications, such as catalysts for various chemical reactions, information/electronic materials, and the like, and which especially has a peroxidase-like activity and a high activity in phosphodiester hydrolysis. Also, provided is a novel method for analyzing a hydrogen peroxide using a metal complex having a peroxidase-like activity. A cyclic phenol sulfide metal complex is produced by bringing a cyclic phenol sulfide metal complex represented by the formula with at least one selected from metals of the Groups 8, 1A to 7A, 1B and 3B, and is used as a catalyst for oxidation by hydrogen peroxide or a catalyst for hydrolysis of phosphodiester. Furthermore, hydrogen peroxide is analyzed using the catalyst for hydrolysis.
