Femtosecond to nanosecond transient absorption spectroscopy has been used to investigate the primary photochemistry of the B12 coenzymes, methylcobalamin and 5‘-deoxyadenosylcobalamin. Photolysis at excitation wavelengths in the near UV (400 nm) and visible (520−530 nm) are compared. Measurements were performed with femtosecond time resolution covering time delays of up to 9 ns. The photochemistry of methylcobalamin is found to depend strongly on excitation wavelength, while the photochemistry of adenosylcobalamin is essentially wavelength independent over the range studied. Excitation of methylcobalamin at 400 nm results in a partitioning between prompt bond homolysis and formation of a metastable cob(III)alamin photoproduct as reported earlier [Walker, L. A., II; Jarrett, J. T.; Anderson, N. A.; Pullen, S. H.; Matthews, R. G.; Sension, R. J. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1998, 120, 3597−3603]. Excitation of methylcobalamin at 520 nm in the visible αβ-band results only in formation of the metastable cob(III)alamin p...
