The chemistry of vitamin B12. Part XVI. Binding of thiols to the cobalt(II) corrins
Abstract
The binding of axial ligands to cobalt(II) forms of cobalamins and cobinamides has been studied by e.s.r. spectroscopy. The measurements show that sulphides (thioethers), thiolate anions, and thiols as well as many nitrogen bases bind to the cobalt. The solvent in which the spectra are recorded has a considerable influence upon the resolution observed in the spectra.
