Abstract: In this study, the preparation and characterization of two new mixed-valence heterodinuclear complexes [FeIIINiII(BPPAMFF)(µ-OAc)2(H2O)]ClO4 (1) and [FeIIIZnII(BPPAMFF)(µ-OAc)2(H2O)]ClO4 (2) with the bioinspired ligand 2-[(N-benzyl-N-2-pyridylmethylamine)]-4-methyl-6-[N-(2-pyridylmethyl)aminomethyl)])-4-methyl-6-formylphenol (H2BPPAMFF) are reported. These compounds were immobilized in 3-aminopropyl silica (APS) to afford composites APS-1 and APS-2 successfully. The aldehyde-containing ligand provided a reactive functional group, which could serve as a cross-linking group to bind the complexes to the directly amino-modified SiO2 surface. The complexes? chemical integrity on the APS inorganic platform were probed by spectroscopical techniques, such as FTIR, UV-Vis and EPR. Potentiometric and spectrophotometric titrations allowed the chemical species present in solution to be rationalized, and identified which of them were potentially active in the hydrolytic cleavage of phosphodiester 2,4-BDNPP. Kinetic studies showed that FeIIINiII species (1 and APS-1) presented higher catalytic efficiency (E = kcat/KM) than FeIIIZnII species (2 and APS-2). Catalytic mechanisms were proposed based on a series of kinetic experiments, in which all the catalysts tested behaved as selective phosphodiesterases. In addition, it was also demonstrated that the hydrolase activity of the immobilized catalytic centers, APS-1 and APS-2, was better than the homogeneous processes, where second coordination sphere effects may be involved in directing and stabilizing the transition state.
