Oximate metal complexes breaking the limiting esterolytic reactivity of oximate anions

Abstract

Zinc(II) and cadmium(II) complexes of a tridentate oximate ligand cleave 4-nitrophenyl acetate with rate constants surpassing by two orders of magnitude those reported as the maximum possible level for highly basic free oximate anions as a result of removal of the “solvational imbalance” of the nucleophile by metal coordination.
