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

摘要

Metal complexes which serve as catalysts in various chemical reactions or as materials in the information-electronics industry, exhibit peroxidase-like activities or high hydrolytic activities for phosphoric diesters, and can easily hybridize with base sequence recognition sites; and novel analytical methods for hydrogen peroxide with the complexes exhibiting peroxidase-like activities. The above metal complexes are prepared by bringing a cyclic phenol sulfide represented by general formula (2) into contact with at least one member selected from among Group 8, 1A to 7A, 1B and 3B metals, and are usable as catalysts for the oxidation with hydrogen peroxide or those for the hydrolysis of phosphoric diesters, the hydrolysis catalysts being useful also in the analysis for hydrogen peroxide. In said formula X<1> is hydrogen, a hydrocarbon group or the like; Y<1> is hydrogen, a hydrocarbon group or the like; Z<1> is Sm<1> or the like; m<1> is an integer of 1 to 7; and n<1> is an integer of 4 to 8.
