Supermolecular chemistry, 62. Ligand and cosubstrate effects on the hydrolysis of phosphate esters and DNA with lanthanoids

Article abstract of DOI:10.1002/jlac.199619961109

Attempts are described to enhance the catalytic activity of lanthanide ions by providing cosubstrates with an increasing number of nucleophilic groups or by attaching corresponding polyols covalently to stronger metal-binding centers like diazacrown ether
