Abstract
Ligand substitution of the triply deprotonated tetrapeptide ligand with bulky α-carbon substituents, in the tetrapeptide complexes of Cu(II) and Ni(II) by the bidentate ligands 2,2-bipyridine and 1,10-phenanthroline has been studied. The mechanism in the CuII(H-3A4)2− and the CuII(H-3F4)2− complexes shows a proton-assisted nucleophilic attack, and the CuII(H-3V4)2− shows both proton-assisted and direct equatorial nucleophilic attack by the bidentate ligands. A factor of ten decrease in the rate of substitution from CuII(H-3A4)2− to CuII(H-3V4)2−, and also CuII(H-3F4)2− is an indication of a steric hindrance on the substitution rate because of atom overcrowding due to the size of the α-carbon substituents in the CuII(H-3V4)2− and CuII(H-3F4)2− complexes. The substitution of the triply deprotonated tetrapeptide ligand in NiII(H-3A4)2− by 2,2-bipyridine and 1,10-phenanthroline shows a kinetic behaviour completely different to that of the Cu(II)-tetrapeptide complexes. Only a direct equatorial nucleophilic attack by the bidentate ligands has been observed.
