The H atoms bonded to the chiral C atoms (stereogenic center) of the 1-cyanoethyl groups in two cobalt complexes, [(R)-1-cyanoethyl]bis(dimethylglyoximato)(pyridine)cobalt(III) (2) and [(R,S)-1-cyanoethyl]bis(dimethylglyoximato)(piperidine)cobalt(III) (3), were replaced with D atoms, such as Co—C*D(CH3)CN. The crystals of the two cobalt complexes were irradiated with a xenon lamp for 72 h and 27 d, respectively. The unit-cell dimensions were gradually changed with retention of the single-crystal form. The crystal structures after irradiation were determined by neutron diffraction. In each crystal the chiral 1-cyanoethyl group of one of the two crystallographically independent molecules was partly inverted to the opposite configuration, whereas that of the other molecule kept the original configuration. The C*—D bond in the inverted group was completely conserved in the process of the inversion of the chiral alkyl group. This suggests that the inversion of the chiral 1-cyanoethyl group proceeds with the rotation of the cyanoethyl radical after the Co—C bond cleavage by photo-irradiation so that the opposite side of the radical faces the Co atom. This is followed by recombination of the Co—C bond to form the inverted 1-cyanoethyl group.

The complex (2-cyanoethyl)bis(dimethylglyoximato)(triphenylphosphine)cobalt(III), [Co(C4H7N2O2)2(C3H4N){P(C6H5)3}], when it was crystallized rapidly from an aqueous methanol solution, has four crystal forms, three of which were obtained separately from different solvents in large amounts. The crystal structures of the four forms were determined by X-rays. The molecular structures in the four forms have different conformations around the Co—C and Co—P bonds. The packing energy calculation indicated that the four forms have approximately the same energy. The 2-cyanoethyl group of this complex was isomerized to the 1-cyanoethyl group when the powdered sample of the complex was irradiated with a xenon lamp. For three crystal forms prepared separately, the solid-state photoisomerization rates were measured from the change in the IR spectra, assuming first-order kinetics. A quantitative relationship between the rate constant and the size of the reaction cavity for the 2-cyanoethyl group has been obtained for the three crystal forms.

The 2-cyanopropyl (β-cyanopropyl) group in the cobaloxime complex of (2-cyanopropyl)(3-methylpyridine)bis(dimethylglyoximato)cobalt(III) takes a trans conformation around the Co—C—C—CN bond in the crystal and undergoes isomerization to the 1-cyanopropyl (α-cyanopropyl) group with a low reaction rate when the powdered crystals are irradiated with a xenon lamp. When the complex was mixed with (2-cyanoethyl)(3-methylpyridine)bis(dimethylglyoximato)cobalt(III) or (2-cyanoethyl)(3-ethylpyridine)bis(dimethylglyoximato)cobalt(III), a mixed crystal, Mix-I or Mix-II, was obtained. The cell parameters of Mix-I and Mix-II were considerably different. When the crystals of Mix-I and Mix-II were irradiated with the xenon lamp, the 2-cyanopropyl group and the 2-cyanoethyl group isomerized to the 1-cyanopropyl and 1-cyanoethyl groups, respectively, in the crystalline state as well as in the solid state. The isomerization rates of the 2-cyanopropyl and 2-cyanoethyl groups of the mixed crystals became significantly higher than the corresponding rates in the component crystals. For the 2-cyanopropyl group, the conformational change from trans to cis in the mixed crystals caused reaction rates to be enhanced, and the expanded volume of the reaction cavity in the mixed crystals increased the reactivity for the 2-cyanoethyl group, when compared with the reactivity of each component crystal. A quantitative discussion of the increased rate constants is presented, which is based on the crystal structures. The shapes of the reaction cavities for the reactive groups undergoing isomerization control the conformation and configuration of the produced1-cyanoethyl and 1-cyanopropyl groups.
