Zinc complexes were synthesized as catalysts that mimic the ability of carbonic anhydrase (CA) for the CO<sub>2</sub> hydration reaction (H<sub>2</sub>O + CO<sub>2</sub> → H<sup>+</sup> + HCO<sub>3</sub><sup>-</sup>). For these complexes, a tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine (TPA) ligand mimicking only the active site, and a 6-((bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amino)methyl)pyridin-2-ol (TPA-OH) ligand mimicking the hydrogen-bonding network of the secondary coordination sphere of CA were used. Potentiometric pH t ...[more]
