Abstract

The absolute configuration of an optically active Λ-[Co(EDDS)]- (EDDS = ethylene-diaminedisuccinate) complex was determined as Λ by the regional rule and spectroscopic data. The stereoselective ionic association between Λ-[Co(EDDS)]- and rac-[Co(en)3]3+ occurs preferentially between Λ-[Co(EDDS)]- and Δ-[Co(en)3]3+. The stereoselective electron transfer reaction between Λ-[Co(EDDS)]- and rac-[Co(en)3]2+ has been investigated in aqueous solution, DMF and DMSO. Their enantiomeric excesses (e.e.) observed are 14%, 26% and 40% of Δ-[Co(en)3]3+, respectively. The electron transfer reaction between Λ-[Co(EDDS)]- and conformationally restricted [Co(chxn)3]2+ has been examined in aqueous and DMSO solution. In aqueous solution, there are four isomers in the product which were determined as lel3, lel2ob, lelob2, and ob3 of Δ-[Co(chxn)3]3+ with optical purities of 22%, 25%, 11% and 10% e.e. respectively. In DMSO, the reaction produces lel3-Δ-and lel2ob-Δ-[Co(chxn)3]3+ with optical purities of 100% and 75% e.e. respectively.
