Cobalt(III) complexes of unsaturated carboxylic acids: Synthesis, characterization, and photochemical studies in aqueous medium

Cobalt(III) ammine complexes coordinated to carboxylic acids are classic examples showing photoredox reactions originating from the ligand to metal charge transfer excited states. Cobalt(III) pentaammine complexes coordinated to unsaturated carboxylic acids as ligands were synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic methods. The photolysis of these complexes produces a carboxylate free radical. This free radical undergoes further transformation to form organic photoproducts. The organic photoproducts were characterized by spectroscopic methods. The nature of the decomposition products from the organic photoproduct was examined in detail. The quantum yields were also determined. The photochemical reactions have the potential to produce novel compounds from the decarboxylation of unsaturated acids, which shows interesting reaction pathways.
