1,4,7,10-tetrakis(2-hydroxyethyl)-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane(THED) and (1S,4S,7S,10S)-1,4,7,10-tetrakis(2hydroxypropyl)-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane (S-THP) complexes of lanthanides were evaluated with their ability to promote transesterification of the 4-nitrophenyl phosphate ester of propylene glycol (1) or the cleavage of RNA oligomers. Kinetics of the reactions were measured and rate constants are reported.
