The absolute rate constants have been determined for the homolytic dissociation and the bimolecular homolytic substitution of an organocobalt grouping by trichloromethyl radicals in methyl-, hexyl-, and 1-phenylethylcobaloximes containing p-donor and r-donor axial ligands.The rate of homolytic substitution is determined by the dissociation energy of the cobalt-carbon bond and the spatial accessibility of the reaction center.At constant dissociation energy the reactivity series agrees with that observed in bimolecular nucleophilic substitution reactions.
