resumo
The photoactivatable CO-releasing molecule (photoCORM) [Mo(CO)(3)(CNCH2COOH)(3)] (ALF795) has been incorporated into a Zn,Al layered double hydroxide (LDH) host by a coprecipitation synthesis strategy. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) of the resultant material Zn,Al-ALF795 showed that the ALF795 guest molecules assembled into a monolayer to give a basal spacing of 16.0 angstrom. FTIR and(13)C{H-1} CP MAS NMR spectroscopy confirmed that the molecular structure of the tricarbonyl complex was retained upon intercalation. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and elemental analyses confirmed the phase-purity of Zn,Al-ALF795. The myoglobin assay was used to demonstrate that intercalated ALF795 retains the photoactive behavior of the free CORM, with a substantial fraction (42 %) of the high CO payload (2.46 mmol g(-1)) being released after exposure to UV light for 3 h under simulated physiological conditions. In addition, gas chromatography was used to track sequential light- and H2O2-triggered decarbonylation of free and intercalated ALF795. In biological buffer solution (HEPES), less than 2 % Mo leaching from Zn,Al-ALF795 took place after 5 h, showing the strong capacity of the LDH host to retain the unaltered complex and decarbonylation fragments.
