In order to better understand the rate constants for the reduction of several cobalt complexes by 1-hydroxy-1-methylene radicals ({sup {sm bullet}}C(CH{sub 3}){sub 2}OH), the reactions of {sup {sm bullet}}(CH{sub 3}){sub 2}OH with several cobalt(III) complexes of bidentate amines have been studied. The Marcus-Hush theory was deemed the most appropriate for analysis of the kinetic data. The correlation between the kinetics of the reduction of the Co(III) amines by C(CH{sub 3}){sub 2}OH and the reduction of the first d-d band for Co(III) complexes is discussed. 21 refs., 2 figs., 1 tab.
