Notes:
The kinetics of the electron-transfer reaction between racemic or optically active [Co(bamap)H2O]+ and optically active Fe2+ complexes of the three new pentadentate ligands bamap, alamp, and valmp has been investigated. All the reacting species show C2 symmetry. With respect to aquo-Fe2+, the reaction rate for the Fe2+ complexes is enhanced by a factor of 104 to 105, and the observed kΔΛ/kΛΛ ratio is 1.0, 1,9, and 1.2, respectively. In all cases where stereoselectivity is observed, the reaction is faster between the complexes of opposite absolute configuration (ΔΛ or ΛΔ) than between species with the same configuration (ΛΛ or ΔΔ). The stereoselectivity effects are discussed of the basis of the structure of the transition state and the interatomic distances between the two metal centers at the moment of electron transfer.
