2 Materials and Instruments Unless otherwise noted, materials were obtained from commercial suppliers and were used without further purification. 4-Methyl-2,6-bis((pyridin-2-ylmethylamino)methyl)phenol was prepared according to the previous report (Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters, 2008, 18, ). Buffer solution (HEPES 10 mm, ph 7.0) was prepared using deionized water. 1 H MR and 13 C MR spectra were recorded at 300 K on a Bruker Avance DRX 500 FT MR spectrometer, operating at operating at 500 or 300 MHz for 1 H MR spectra and 75 MHz for 13 C MR spectra. Mass spectra were obtained using a Waters Micromass Q-Tof micro mass spectrometer. UV absorption spectra were obtained on α-1860a UV/VIS Spectrometer. Mass spectra of Cu-L a and Cu-L b were obtained using LCQ Fleet Mass Spectrometer. The IR spectra were obtained using Thermo Scientific icolet is10 FT-IR Spectrometer. Preparation of solutions for absorption study Stock solutions (10 mm) of pyrocatechol violet (PV) and anions PPi, a 2 HPO 4, CH 3 COOH 4, a 2 SO 4, a 2 CO 3, af, acl, abr, KI and MgCl 2 in distilled water were prepared. In a typical experiment, test solutions were prepared by placing 60 μl of PV stock solution into a test tube, diluting the solution to 3 ml with HEPES buffer, and adding an appropriate buffer of complex and anions. Absorption spectra were measured immediately. PPase Assays In a typical experiment, the stock solutions of Cu-L b -PV and PPi were added the HEPES buffer (10mM, ph7.0), and the final concentration are 20 μm and 200 μm, respectively. After incubated for 5 min at room temperature, the reaction processes were monitored by UV-Vis spectrameter under three catalytic conditions: (a) only PPase (10 units); (b) only Mg 2+ (20 μm); (c) PPase (10 units) Mg 2+ (20 μm).
