Abstract: The formation rate constants of coenzyme B12 model compounds produced through the reaction of [Co(I)TPP]- with PhCH2Cl, CH3I, CH3(CH2)3Cl was measured by thin layer spectroelectrochemistry i.e.single potential step chronoabsorptiometry(SPS-CA).Their values are 1.62 × 102 mol-1·L·s-1 for PhCH2Cl, 11.09 mol-1·L·s-1 for CH3Iand 6.93 × 10-2 mol-1·L·s-1 for CH3(CH2)3Cl respectively.These reactions are second order and first order in respect of [Co(I)TPP]- or RX.
