Asymmetric systems charging characteristics

C104) crystallizes in 96% yield in a second-order asymmetric manner. The solution actually contains the equilibrium mixture A(jR) A(jR) = 7 3.1036 Both Co2, and OH- effect rapid mutarota-tion about the metal in this complex but not about the chiral carbon. With (S)-penicillamine a similar equilibrium obtains (A A[Co (S)pen (en)2]2+ = 7 3) but preferential crystallization does not occur.1037 X-Ray structures confirm equatorial and axial dangling carboxylate functions in A-[Co (R)cys (en)2](C104) and A-[Co (7 )cy s (en)2 ] (C104) H2 O respectively.1037 (N,S) bonding seems to be preferred in (N,S,0) systems (cysteine, penicillamine) but (N,0)[Co (R)cys (en)2]2+ has been prepared by reduction of the tridentate sulfenamide complex (285 equation 159).1038 This (N.O) chelate lacks the extended charge transfer absorptions in the near UV characteristic of thiolate coordination.
