AMAlivia MukherjeeUniversity of Michigan SWSummer Y. WuUniversity of Michigan DCDavid J. CooperColorado State University

Key Points

This research investigates how photochemical processes lead to alkene formation using vitamin B12.
Analyzed the formation of Co(ii) and Co(i) species during the reaction.
Explored different solvents to determine their impact on the formation process.
Initial formation of Co(ii) was observed in the process.
Subsequent Co(i) formation was shown to depend on solvent choice.

Abstract

Initial Co( ii ) formation followed by solvent-dependent Co( i ) formation.
