Abstract:

The reaction of CoTPP (cobalt tetrophenylporphyrin) with various alkyl bromides [CH3CH2Br; CH3(CH2)3Br; CH3(CH2)7Br; CH3(CH2)11Br; CH3(CH2)15Br] were studied by cyclic voltammogram. The reaction of [Co(I )TPP]- with alkyl bromide formed coenzym B12 moddel compound containing a cobalt-carbon bond. The formation rate constants are 2.43; 16.73; 28.30; 35.05; 42.36 mol-1•L•s-1 respectively. The relation between the chain length of alkyl bromide the rate constants and the stability of alkyl cobalt porphyrin negtive ion were discussed.

Key words: Coenzyme B12 model compound, Electrochemistry, Cobalt prphyrin
