Cis Effects in the Cobalt Corrins. 1. Crystal Structures of 10-Chloroaquacobalamin Perchlorate, 10-Chlorocyanocobalamin, and 10-Chloromethylcobalamin.

The crystal structures of 10-chloroaquacobalamin perchlorate hydrate (10-Cl-H(2)OCbl.ClO(4)) (Mo Kalpha, 0.710 73 Å, monoclinic system, P2(1), a = 11.

Side Chain Entropy and the Activation of Organocobalamins for Carbon-Cobalt Bond Homolysis: Synthesis, Characterization, and Thermolysis of the Neopentyl Derivative of a Unique Cobalamin Analog Lacking a c Side Chain.

Hydrodeamination of the c-amino derivative, 5, of cyanocobalamin (CNCbl) with hydroxylamine-O-sulfonic acid in aqueous base leads to an extensively rearranged product instead of the c side chain truncated derivative, 1, expected from simple deamination. The rearranged product (CNCbl-8-butanamide) crystallizes in the orthorhombic system, space group P2(1)2(1)2(1) with unit cell dimensions a = 16.041(11), b = 21.

Heteronuclear NMR Studies of Cobalt Corrinoids. 18. Correlation of Structure and Magnetic Resonance Parameters in Base-On Cobalamins(1).

Recent X-ray crystal structure determinations (including a new X-ray determination of the structure of cyano-13-epicobalamin reported herein) create a series of seven base-on cobalamins structurally characterized by modern crystallographic techniques in which the intramolecular equilibrium constant for coordination of the axial benzimidazole ligand (Bzm) varies from 76.6 to 4.90 x 10(7).
