The reactions of Co/sup II/TPPS (TPPS = tetrakis(4-sulfonatophenyl)prophyrin) with alkyl and hydroxyalkyl radicals have been studied by pulse radiolysis. The alkyl radicals undergo axial addition with rate constants of (1.2 to 1.9) x 10/sup 9/ M/sup -1/s/sup -1/ to form R-Co/sup III/TPPS complexes which either are stable (R = CH/sub 3/) or undergo decomposition R = CH(CH/sub 3/)/sub 2/) to Co/sup I/TPPS and an olefin via a ..beta..-proton elimination mechanism (k/sub 1/ = 0.3 s/sup -1/ at pH 8 and 3 s/sup -1/ at pH 13). The hydroxyalkyl radicals also form R-Co/sup III/TPPS with rate constants of (1.1 to 1.2) x 10/sup 9/ M/sup -1/ s/sup -1/. These adducts undergo heterolytic cleavage of the cobalt-carbon bond to form Co/sup I/TPPS and a carbonyl compound, with rate constants of 3.6 x 10/sup 2/s/sup -1/ (R = CH/sub 2/OH) and 6.2 x 10/sup 3/ s/sup -1/ (R = C(OH)(CH/sub 3/)/sub 2/). The radicals (CH/sub 3/)/sub 2/CO/sup -/ and CO/sub 2//sup -/ reduce CO/sup II/TPPS to Co/sup I/TPPS by an outer-sphere mechanism with rate constants 7 x 10/sup 8/ and 2 x 10/sup 8/ M/sup -1/ s/sup -1/, respectively. Co/sup I/TPPS is oxidized to CH/sub 3/Co/sup III/TPPS by CH/sub 3/I (k/sub 2/ = 3 x 10/sup 5/ M/sup -1/ s/sup -1/) and to Co/sup II/TPPS (probably through intermediate formation of Co/sup III/TPPS) by N/sub 2/O (k/sub 2/ less than or equal to 3 x 10/sup 2/ M/sup -1/ s/sup -1/). The reactivities of the present systems have been compared with those of other models suggested for vitamin B/sub 12/ like cobaloximes, cobalamins, and other macrocyclic Co/sup II/ complexes. 36 references, 6 figures, 1 table.
