Abstract;Biotin is a critical cofactor in biotin-dependent carboxylases, and operates fixation of carbon dioxide. In the mechanism of biotin-dependent carboxylases, Mg-H2O (aquo) species bound to urea oxygen is proposed as an active species. In order to understand the participation of such metal species, we prepared a new zinc complex containing tripodal ligand, tris(6-amino-2-pyridylmethyl)amine (TAPA). Reaction of [Zn(tapa)(OH)]ClO4 (1) with CO2 gas in CH3CN gave a CO2-fixed zinc complex 2. The structures of these complexes (1 and 2) were confirmed by the X-ray crystallography and 1H- and 13C-NMR spectra, which indicated that the hydrogen bonding interaction between amino NH and hydroxide oxygen atom stabilized Zn-OH species for complex 1.
