Photochemistry of Azido and Thiolato Vitamin-B12 Model Complexes as Precursor Compounds for Coordinatively Unsaturated Cobalt(II) ComplexesThe photolysis of [LCo(chelat)B] complexes (1-3) (L = azide, N3-; thiolate, RS-; chelat = dimethylglyoxime, dmg; N,N′-o-phenylene-bis(salicylidenimine), salphen; N,N′-ethylene-bis(salicylidenimine), salen; B = pyridine, imidazole, triphenylphosphine) leads upon the homolytic cleavage of the Co—L bond to both coordinatively unsaturated reactive cobalt(II) chelates [Co(chelat)B] and ligand radicals L•. The efficiency of these photochemical redox reactions is described in relation to the structure of the cobalt(III) chelates, the wavelength of irradiation, the light-intensity as well as the solvents and substrates used during the photochemical experiments. Further, sensitization experiments using [Ru(bipy)3]Cl2 as sensitizer are described and the redox potentials of the investigated complexes are discussed.
