The title compounds were prepared and characterized and their thermal decomposition reactions were studied in aqueous solutions of varying pH and containing varying concentrations of cob(II)alamin (B12r) and of bis(dimethylglyoximato)cobalt (II), [Co(DH2]. Homolytic cobalt-carbon bond dissociation pathways were identified through competitive trapping of the resulting free radicals according to the following scheme: R-B12 .dblarw. R . + B12r; R . + Co(DH)2 .fwdarw. R-Co(DH)2. Determination of the kinetics of these reactions yielded (after correction for the base on-base off equilibria) the following values of the activation parameters: R = neopentyl, .DELTA.H.dbldag. = 26.7 .+-. 1.2 kcal/mol, .DELTA.S.dbldag. = 1.5 .+-. 5 cal/(mol K); R = cyclopentylmethyl, .DELTA.H.dbldag. = 26.8 .+-. 2 kcal/mol; .DELTA.S.dbldag. = 3 .+-. 6 cal/(mol K). From these measurements the Co .sbd. C bond dissociation energies of the base-on forms of neopentyl-B12 and cyclopentylmethyl-B12 were deduced to be ca. 24 kcal/mol. In ethylene glycol .DELTA.H.dbldag. for homolytic dissociation of the Co .sbd. C bond of neopentyl-B12 was found to be about 4 kcal/mol higher than in aqueous solution.
