(2-Carbamoylethyl)bis(dimethylglyoximato-N, N')
The 2-carbamoylethyl and 2-(methylcarbamoyl)ethyl groups in the title cobaloxime complexes, [Co(C(4)H(7)N(2)O(2))(2)(C(3)H(6)NO)(C(12)H(13)N)].C(2)H(6)O and [Co(C(4)H(7)N(2)O(2))(2)(C(4)H(8)NO)(C(10)H(13)NO(2))], were isomerized to 1-carbamoylethyl and 1-(methylcarbamoyl)ethyl groups, respectively, on exposure to visible light in the solid state. Although both the crystal structures and the intermolecular hydrogen bonds are different in the two crystals, similar reaction rates were observed.
