The absolute configuration of an optically active Lambda-[Co(EDDS)](-)
(EDDS = ethylene-diaminedisuccinate) complex was determined as Lambda
by the regional rule and spectroscopic data. The stereoselective ioni
c association between Lambda-[Co(EDDS)](-) and rac-[Co(en)(3)](3+) occ
urs preferentially between Lambda-[Co(EDDS)](-) and Delta-[Co(en)(3)](
3+). The stereoselective electron transfer reaction between Delta-[Co(
EDDS)](-) and rac-[Co(en)(3)](2+) has been investigated in aqueous sol
ution, DMF and DMSO. Their enantiomeric excesses (e.e.) observed are 1
4%, 26% and 40% of Delta-[Co(en)(3)](3+), respectively. The electron t
ransfer reaction between Lambda-[Co(EDDS)](-) and conformationally res
tricted [Co(chxn)(3)](2+) has been examined in aqueous and DMSO soluti
on. In aqueous solution, there are four isomers in the product which w
ere determined as lel(3), lel(2)ob, lelob(2), and ob(3) of Delta-[Co(c
hxn)(3)](3+) with optical purities of 22%, 25%, 11% and 10% e.e. respe
ctively. In DMSO, the reaction produces lel(3)-Delta- and lel(2)ob-Del
ta-[Co(chxn)(3)](3+) with optical purities of 100% and 75% e.e. respec
tively.
