The catalytic hydrolysis of Bis(p-nitrophenyl) phosphate ester (BNPP) in the metallomicelle made up of Ce3+-diethylenetriamine and LSS (N-lauroyl sarcosinate) was investigated by UV/VIS method. The effect of the catalytic efficiency and stability of the system was studied under the different conditions. The results indicated that the catalytic system exhibited high activity, stability and reproducibility in the BNPP catalytic hydrolysis under proper proportion of Ce3+ion and diethylenetriamine, pH and temperature when the concentration of LSS is higher than its CMC (critical micelle concentration). The results also showed that the active species is the complex made up of Ce3+ion and diethylenetriamine.

Phosphate ester and its ramifications in the pesticide are virulent and some are known to be human carcinogens. The removal of phosphate ester in the leftover of the pesticide has been a major environmental concern. The Cerium(III) complex made up of a nitrogen unsaturated heterocycle ligand and Cerium ion(III) was used in the catalytic degradation of bis(4-nitrophenyl) phosphate ester (BNPP). This catalytic system showed higher catalytic activity and better reproducibility and stability than other similar Cerium(III) systems. The rate of the BNPP catalytic degradation was about 109 -fold faster than that of its spontaneous degradation at the same conditions. The Cerium(III) complex is an very effective catalyst in the degradation of the phosphate ester.

A macro-cyclic Schiff base ligand and the corresponding Cu (II) and Ni (II) complexes were synthesized and characterized. And the catalytic efficiency of the metallomicelles made of these complexes and noninonic micelle Brij35, as mimetic hydrolytic metalloenzyme, was investigated in the catalytic hydrolysis of bis(p-nitrophenyl) phosphate (BNPP) in this paper. The results show that the rate of the BNPP hydrolysis in the metallomicelles is about 106 -fold faster than that of the BNPP spontaneous hydrolysis in aqueous solution at the same conditions. The analysis of the characteristic absorption spectra of the hydrolytic reaction systems indicates that the key intermediate, composing of BNPP and Ni(II) or Cu(II) complexes, has been formed and the catalytic hydrolysis of BNPP is an intramolecular nucleophilic substitution reaction. Based on the results of characteristic absorption spectra, the mechanism of BNPP catalytic hydrolysis has been proposed and also the corresponding kinetic mathematical model has been established.

<p>Phosphate esters have a wide range of industrial applications, for example in tribology where they are used as vapour phase lubricants and antiwear additives. To rationally design phosphate esters with improved tribological performance, an atomic-level understanding of their film formation mechanisms is required. One important aspect is the thermal decomposition of phosphate esters on steel surfaces, since this initiates film formation. In this study, ReaxFF molecular dynamics simulations are used to study the thermal decomposition of phosphate esters with different substituents on several ferrous surfaces. On Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub>(001) and α-Fe(110), chemisorption interactions between the phosphate esters and the surfaces occur even at room temperature, and the number of molecule-surface bonds increases as the temperature is increased from 300 to 1000 K. Conversely, on hydroxylated, amorphous Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub>, most of the molecules are physisorbed, even at high temperature. Thermal decomposition rates were much higher on Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub>(001) and particularly α-Fe(110) compared to hydroxylated, amorphous Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub>. This suggests that water passivates ferrous surfaces and inhibits phosphate ester chemisorption, decomposition, and ultimately film formation. On Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub>(001), thermal decomposition proceeds mainly through C-O cleavage (to form surface alkyl and aryl groups) and C-H cleavage (to form surface hydroxyls). The onset temperature for C-O cleavage on Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub>(001) increases in the order: tertiary alkyl < secondary alkyl < primary linear alkyl ≈ primary branched alkyl < aryl. This order is in agreement with experimental observations for the thermal stability of antiwear additives with similar substituents. The results highlight surface and substituent effects on the thermal decomposition of phosphate esters which should be helpful for the design of new molecules with improved performance.</p>
