A. Tatehata et T. Mitani, CONFORMATIONAL EFFECTS ON STEREOSELECTIVITIES IN ELECTRON-TRANSFER AND ION-ASSOCIATION REACTIONS BETWEEN METAL-COMPLEXES, Chemical communications, (9), 1996, pp. 1033-1034
The stereoselectivities in the oxidation of [Co(pn)(3)](2+) (pn = 1,2-
propanediamine) by Delta-[Co(glyO)(ox)(2)](2)(glyO = glycinate, ox = o
xalate) and in ion-association of (lel)(3)- and (ob)(3)-[Co(pn)(3)](3) with the same anionic complex are observed to be dependent on the ch
elate-ring conformation and are indications of the importance of the e
lectron-transfer step within a precursor assembly in the overall elect
ron-transfer stereoselectivity.
