Abstract

It is shown that photolysis with visible light (λ > 420 nm) of any alkylcobaloxime procedes via a mechanism involving an initial electron transfer reaction from an equatorial ligand to the central metal to produce a cobalt(II) species which retains both original axial ligands. In a subsequent rearrangement of the equatorial ligand a hydrogen atom is ejected.
