Abstract
The dinuclear zinc complex Zn2L2 (HL=2-{[[di(2-pyridyl)methyl](methyl)amino]methyl}phenol) has been synthesized and isolated as colorless crystals. The interaction of the compound with superoxide in anhydrous organic solvents has been evaluated by CV, stopped-flow Uv-vis, EPR and ESI-MS suggesting the binding and the activation of the coordinated superoxide, thanks to the Lewis acidity of the Zn(II) centers. The results obtained in this study highlight the formation of a Zn2L2−O2.− intermediate and a metastable phenoxyl-radical driven by the coordinated superoxide.
