Cyanide-Coordination Effect on Photochemical Carbon-Skeleton Rearrangements of Alkyl Ligands Coordinated to Vitamin B12 Model Complexes

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1988.839

The cyanide ion induced the heterolytic cleavage of the cobalt-carbon bond involved in vitamin B₁₂ model complexes by its coordination to the central cobalt atom and enhanced the carbon-skeleton rearrangements via formation of anionic intermedi
