Abstract

Abstract The Co(Sep) 3+ complex (Sep = sepulchrate = 1,3,6,8,10,13,16,19-octaazabicyclo[6.6.6]eicosane) forms ion pairs with citrate in aqueous solution at pH 4.0, 5.6 and 8.5, where the forms CIT − , CIT 2− and CIT 3− (CIT = citrate) predominate respectively. Irradiation in the ion pair charge transfer band for the three pH values leads to the decarboxylation of citrate with the production of CO 2 and Co(Sep) 2+ . In the presence of colloidal platinum, CO 2 and H 2 are evolved. The quantum yields for formation of CO 2 , Co(Sep) 2+ and H 2 were obtained and are discussed in terms of their dependence on pH.
