Photochemical dechlorination of DDT catalyzed by a hydrophobic vitamin B12 and a photosensitizer under irradiation with visible light.
Dechlorination of 1,1-bis(4-chlorophenyl)-2,2,2-trichloroethane (DDT) was catalyzed by a hydrophobic vitamin B(12), heptamethyl cobyrinate perchlorate, with a visible light irradiation system containing a [Ru(ii)(bpy)(3)]Cl(2) photosensitizer, and the hydrophobic vitamin B(12) showed high catalytic efficiency and stability during the reaction.
