On photolyzing CoziCOg in the matrix (20), a number of photoproducts could be observed. The results of these experiments are summarized in Scheme 4, which illustrates the various species formed. Of particular interest is the formation of Co2(CO)7 on irradiation of Co2(CO)g in CO (254 nm), as this species had not been characterized in the metal-atom study of Hanlan et al. (129). Passage of Co2(CO)g over an active, cobalt-metal surface before matrix isolation causes complete decomposition. On using a less active catalyst, the IR spectrum of Co(CO)4 could be observed. An absorption due to a second decomposition product, possibly Co2(CO)g, was also noted. 

For infrared spectroscopy, 20-50 mg of the cobalt-exchanged zeolite was pressed into a self-supporting wafer and placed into an infrared cell similar to that described by Joly et al. [21], Spectra were recorded on a Digilab FTS-50 Fourier-transform infrared spectrometer at a resolution of 4 cm-i. Typically, 64 or 256 scans were coadded to obtain a good signal-to-noise ratio. A reference spectrum of Co-ZSM-5 in He taken at the same temperature was subtracted from each spectrum. 

The presence of a site with a low metal-metal coordination is compatible with the non-crystalline nature of the cobalt deposits [64]. It is to be expected that these sites exhibit different chemical reactivity than the usual adsorption sites. This can be verified by subsequent deposition of a small amount (0.1 A) of Pd atoms, which are known to nucleate exclusively on the cobalt particles [64]. The corresponding IR spectrum is shown as the bottom trace in Fig. 6. It is seen that an additional peak appears at 2105 cm which is readily assigned to CO bound terminally to Pd. More importantly, the growth of this Pd feature is completely at the expense of the carbonyl species, indicating that Pd nucleates almost exclusively at these low coordinated sites and prevents the formation of the carbonyl species. 

Methyl-5-amino-l-formylisoquinoline thiosemicarbazone, 22, also yields cobalt(II) complexes from unheated methanol solution [202]. However, due to this ligand s added steric requirements, a complex, [Co(22)Cl2], with one ligand per metal ion center is formed. This brown solid has a magnetic moment of 4.42 B.M., is a non-electrolyte, has coordination of a neutral NNS ligand, and the electronic spectrum indicates approximate trigonal bipyramidal stereochemistry. 

The nuclear decay of radioactive atoms embedded in a host is known to lead to various chemical and physical after effects such as redox processes, bond rupture, and the formation of metastable states [46], A very successful way of investigating such after effects in solid material exploits the Mossbauer effect and has been termed Mossbauer Emission Spectroscopy (MES) or Mossbauer source experiments [47, 48]. For instance, the electron capture (EC) decay of Co to Fe, denoted Co(EC) Fe, in cobalt- or iron-containing compormds has been widely explored. In such MES experiments, the compormd tmder study is usually labeled with Co and then used as the Mossbauer source versus a single-line absorber material such as K4[Fe(CN)6]. The recorded spectrum yields information on the chemical state of the nucleogenic Fe at ca. 10 s, which is approximately the lifetime of the 14.4 keV metastable nuclear state of Fe after nuclear decay. 

While the control resins were deep red in color due to the presence of soluble porphyrin complexes, the methacrylate resins obtained after removal of the polyethylene-supported catalysts varied from light yellow to nearly water-white (APHA < 25). UV-Vis spectrophotometric analysis of the yellow resins indicated an absorption signal for the cobalt porphyrin complex Soret band (wavelength of cobalt(ll) porphyrin species appears at -415 nm free porphyrin ligand is formd at -423 tun). Resin samples that visttally appear as water-white show little or no porphyrin species present in the spectrum. Measured catalyst activity and PDl of the polyethylene-supported porphyrin complexes are in the expected range for soluble porphyrin CCT catalysts (PDl = M /Mn - 1.2- 2.0)." The screening resrrlts clearly... 

As examples. Table 8 records some observations on d—d and charge transfer absorption bands in metal/protein systems. The examination of the spectrum of cobalt carbonic anhydrase (d—d) and of iron conalbumin (charge-transfer) permitted a prediction of the ligands from the protein to the metal. The predictions have now been substantiated by other methods. 

The reduction of cyanocobalamin gives three possible oxidation states for the cobalt atom (Fig. 2). Electron spin resonance studies with Bi2-r reveals that this molecule is the only paramagnetic species giving a spectrum expected for a tetragonal low spin Co(II) complex. Controlled potential reduction of cyanocobalamin to Bi2-r proves that this reduction involves one electron, and further reduction of Bi2-r to B12-S requires a second single electron (16—19). At one time B12-S was considered to be a hydride of Co(III), but controlled potential coulometry experiments provided evidence against a stable hydride species (16). However, these experimental data do not exclude the possibility of a stable Co(III) hydride as the functional species in enzyme catalyzed oxidation reduction reactions. 

The very high resolution for the ESR spectrum of cob(II)alamin in the enzyme system is undoubtedly due to the fact that all the coenzyme molecules are bound in an identical environment at the enzyme active site. This results in a homogeneous cobalt-benzimidazole geometry, because both identical binding sites, solvent, and solute molecules can no longer approach the Bia-molecule closely. In addition, the enzyme bound cob(II)alamin molecules are more isolated from one another and thus relaxation due to spin-spin interactions is less effective in broadening spectral lines. 

A third factor has been suggested for enhanced resolution of the Co(II) ESR spectrum, because in the enzyme the movement of the acetamide and propionamide side-chains of the corrin ring will be restricted. This restriction would diminish fluctuations in the magnetic environment of the cobalt. 

Nuclear magnetic resonance studies on spin labeled derivatives are not extremely useful due to the paramagnetism of the molecule. However, the NMR spectrum of spin labeled methylcobinamide confirms that the nitroxyl function is coordinated to the cobalt. It is possible in this compound to obtain good resolution of the methyl group resonance. 

This peak is broadened and contact shifted down field by the unpaired electron (Fig. 24). A spectrum of a mixture of methylcobinamide and free nitroxide shows broadening of the methyl resonance but no shift in resonance position. Thus the nitroxide must remain attached to the cobalt atom in solution.
