The rapid rise of the CO<sub>2</sub> level in the atmosphere has spurred the development of CO<sub>2</sub> capture methods such as the use of biomimetic complexes that mimic carbonic anhydrase. In this study, model complexes with tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine (TPA) were synthesized using various transition metals (Zn<sup>2+</sup>, Cu<sup>2+</sup> and Ni<sup>2+</sup>) to control the intrinsic proton-donating ability. The pK<sub>a</sub> of the water coordinated to the metal, which indicates its proto ...[more]
