title: Photosensitizing catalysis of the B12 complex without an additional photosensitizer.
abstract: A cobalamin derivative, heptamethyl cobyrinate perchlorate, was activated by UV light irradiation to form a Co(I) species in the presence of triethanolamine and used for a dechlorination reaction, and this photochemical reaction was accelerated in an ionic liquid.
