Abstract
CarH is a protein photoreceptor that uses a form of B12, adenosylcobalamin (AdoCbl), to sense light via formation of a metastable excited state. Aside from AdoCbl bound to CarH, methylcobalamin (MeCbl) is the only other example─to date─of photoexcited cobalamins forming metastable excited states with lifetimes of nanoseconds or longer. The UV-visible spectra of the excited states of MeCbl and AdoCbl bound to CarH are similar. We have used transient Co K-edge X-ray absorption and X-ray emission spectroscopies in conjunction with transient absorption spectroscopy in the UV-visible region to characterize the excited states of MeCbl. These data show that the metastable excited state of MeCbl has a slightly expanded corrin ring and increased electron density on the cobalt, but only small changes in the axial bond lengths.

Abstract
The inorganic chemistry of the cobalt corrinoids, derivatives of vitamin B12, is reviewed, with particular emphasis on equilibrium constants for, and kinetics of, their axial ligand substitution reactions. The role the corrin ligand plays in controlling and modifying the properties of the metal ion is emphasised. Other aspects of the chemistry of these compounds, including their structure, corrinoid complexes with metals other than cobalt, the redox chemistry of the cobalt corrinoids and their chemical redox reactions, and their photochemistry are discussed. Their role as catalysts in non-biological reactions and aspects of their organometallic chemistry are briefly mentioned. Particular mention is made of the role that computational methods - and especially DFT calculations - have played in developing our understanding of the inorganic chemistry of these compounds. A brief overview of the biological chemistry of the B12-dependent enzymes is also given for the reader's convenience.

Abstract
The CarH photoreceptor exploits of the light-sensing ability of coenzyme B12 ( adenosylcobalamin = AdoCbl) to perform its catalytic function, which includes large-scale structural changes to regulate transcription. In daylight, transcription is activated in CarH via the photo-cleavage of the Co-C5' bond of coenzyme B12. Subsequently, the photoproduct, 4',5'-anhydroadenosine (anhAdo) is formed inducing dissociation of the CarH tetramer from DNA. Several experimental studies have proposed that hydridocoblamin (HCbl) may be formed in process with anhAdo. The photolytic cleavage of the Co-C5' bond of AdoCbl was previously investigated using photochemical techniques and the involvement of both singlet and triplet excited states were explored. Herein, QM/MM calculations were employed to probe (1) the photolytic processes which may involve singlet excited states, (2) the mechanism of anhAdo formation, and (3) whether HCbl is a viable intermediate in CarH. Time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations indicate that the mechanism of photodissociation of the Ado ligand involves the ligand field (LF) portion of the lowest singlet excited state (S1) potential energy surface (PES). This is followed by deactivation to a point on the S0 PES where the Co-C5' bond remains broken. This species corresponds to a singlet diradical intermediate. From this point, the PES for anhAdo formation was explored, using the Co-C5' and Co-C4' bond distances as active coordinates, and a local minimum representing anhAdo and HCbl formation was found. The transition state (TS) for the formation of the Co-H bond of HCbl was located and its identity was confirmed by a single imaginary frequency of i1592 cm-1. Comparisons to experimental studies and the potential role of rotation around the N-glycosidic bond of the Ado ligand were discussed.

Abstract
The photo-reactivity of cobalamins (Cbls) is influenced by the nature of axial ligands and the cofactor's environment. While the biologically active forms of Cbls with alkyl axial ligands, such as methylcobalamin (MeCbl) and adenosylcobalamin (AdoCbl), are considered to be photolytically active, in contrast, the non-alkyl Cbls are photostable. In addition to these, the photolytic properties of Cbls can also be modulated in the presence of molecular oxygen, i.e., under aerobic conditions. Herein, the photoreaction of the MeCbl in the presence of oxygen has been explored using density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT). The first stage of the aerobic photoreaction is the activation of the Co-C bond and the formation of the ligand field (LF) electronic state through the displacement of axial bonds. Once the photoreaction reaches the LF excited state, three processes can occur: namely the formation of OO-CH3 through the reaction of CH3 with molecular oxygen, de-activation of the {Im⋯[CoII(corrin)]⋯CH3}+ sub-system from the LF electronic state by changing the electronic configuration from (dyz)1(dz2)2 to (dyz)2(dz2)1 and the formation of the deactivation complex (DC) complex via the recombination of OO-CH3 species with the de-excited [CoII(corrin)] system. In the proposed mechanism, the deactivation of the [CoII(corrin)] subsystem may coexist with the formation of OO-CH3, followed by immediate relaxation of the subsystems in the ground state. Moreover, the formation of the OO-CH3 species followed by the formation of the {[CoIII(corrin)]-OO-CH3}+ complex stabilizes the system compared to the reactant complex.

Abstract
The biologically active vitamin B12 derivates, methylcobalamin (MeCbl) and adenosylcobalamin (AdoCbl), are ubiquitous organometallic cofactors. In addition to their key roles in enzymatic catalysis, B12 cofactors have complex photolytic properties which have been the target of experimental and theoretical studies. With the recent discovery of B12-dependent photoreceptors, there is an increased need to elucidate the underlying photochemical mechanisms of these systems. This book chapter summarizes the photolytic properties of MeCbl- and AdoCbl-dependent enzymes with particular emphasis on the effect of the environment of the cofactor on the excited state processes. These systems include isolated MeCbl and AdoCbl as well as the enzymes, ethanolamine ammonia-lyase (EAL), glutamate mutase (GLM), methionine synthase (MetH), and photoreceptor CarH. Central to determining the photodissociation mechanism of each system is the analysis of the lowest singlet excited state (S1) potential energy surface (PES). Time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT), employing BP86/TZVPP, is widely used to construct such PESs. Regardless of the environment, the topology of the S1 PES of AdoCbl or MeCbl is marked by characteristic features, namely the metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) and ligand field (LF) regions. Conversely, the relative energetics of these electronic states are affected by the environment. Applications and outlooks for Cbl photochemistry are also discussed.

Abstract
The ground state and excited state electronic properties of chlorophyll (Chl) a and Chl b in diethyl ether, acetone, and ethanol solutions are investigated using quantum mechanical and molecular mechanical calculations with density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT (TDDFT). Although the DFT/TDDFT methods are widely used, the electronic structures of molecules, especially large molecules, calculated with these methods are known to be strongly dependent on the functionals and the parameters used in functionals. Here, we optimize the range-separated parameter, µ, of the CAM-B3LYP functional of Chl a and Chl b to reproduce the experimental excitation energy differences of these Chl molecules in solution. The optimal values of µ for Chl a and Chl b are smaller than the default value of µ and that for bacteriochlorophyll a, indicating the change in electronic distribution, i.e., an increase in electron delocalization, within the molecule. We find that the electronic distribution of Chl b with an extra formyl group is different from that of Chl a. We also find that the polarity of solution and hydrogen bond cause the decrease in the excitation energies and the increase in the widths of excitation energy distributions of Chl a and Chl b. The present results are expected to be useful for understanding the electronic properties of each pigment molecule in a local heterogeneous environment, which will play an important role in the excitation energy transfer in light-harvesting complex II.

Toda MJ, Lodowski P, Mamun AA, Kozlowski PM. Electronic and photolytic properties of hydridocobalamin. JOURNAL OF PHOTOCHEMISTRY AND PHOTOBIOLOGY. B, BIOLOGY 2021; 224:112295. [PMID: 34548209 DOI: 10.1016/j.jphotobiol.2021.112295] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2021] [Revised: 07/06/2021] [Accepted: 08/17/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Hydridocobalamin (HCbl), is a known member of the B12 family of molecules (cobalamins, Cbls) yet unlike other well-studied Cbls, little is known of the electronic and photolytic properties of this species. Interest in HCbl has increased significantly in recent years when at least three experimentally proposed mechanisms implicate HCbl as an intermediary in the photoreaction of coenzyme B12-dependent photoreceptor CarH. Specifically, cleavage of the Co-C5' bond of coenzyme B12 could lead to a β-hydride or β‑hydrogen elimination reaction to form HCbl. HCbl is known to be a transient species where the oxidation state of the Co is variable; Co(I)-H+ ↔ Co(II)-H ↔ Co(III)-H-. Further, HCbl is a very unstable with a pKa of ~1. This complicates experimental studies and to the best of our knowledge there are no available crystal structures of HCbl - either for the isolated molecule or bound to an enzyme. In this study, the electronic structure, photolytic properties, and reactivity of HCbl were explored to determine the preferred oxidation state as well as its potential role in the formation of the photoproduct in CarH. Natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis was performed to determine the oxidation state of Co in isolated HCbl. Based on the NBO analysis of HCbl, Co clearly had excess negative charge, which is in stark contrast to other alkylCbls where the Co ion is marked by significant positive charge. In sum, NBO results indicate that the CoH bond is strongly polarized and almost ionic. It can be described as protonated Co(I). In addition, DFT was used to explore the bond dissociation energy of HCbl based on homolytic cleavage of the CoH bond. TD-DFT calculations were used to compare computed electronic transitions to the experimentally determined absorption spectrum. The photoreaction of CarH was explored using an isolated model system and a pathway for hydrogen transfer was found. Finally, quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) calculations were employed to investigate the formation of HCbl in CarH.

Abstract
![]()
Ring-opening of epoxides
furnishing either linear or branched products
belongs to the group of classic transformations in organic synthesis.
However, the regioselective cross-electrophile coupling of aryl epoxides
with aryl halides still represents a key challenge. Herein, we report
that the vitamin B12/Ni dual-catalytic system allows for
the selective synthesis of linear products under blue-light irradiation,
thus complementing methodologies that give access to branched alcohols.
Experimental and theoretical studies corroborate the proposed mechanism
involving alkylcobalamin as an intermediate in this reaction.

Abstract
The interpretation of the ultrafast photophysics of transition metal complexes following photo-absorption is quite involved as the heavy metal center leads to a complicated and entangled singlet-triplet manifold. This opens up multiple pathways for deactivation, often with competitive rates. As a result, intersystem crossing (ISC) and phosphorescence are commonly observed in transition metal complexes. A detailed understanding of such an excited-state structure and dynamics calls for state-of-the-art experimental and theoretical methodologies. In this review, we delve into the inability of non-relativistic quantum theory to describe spin-forbidden transitions, which can be overcome by taking into account spin-orbit coupling, whose importance grows with increasing atomic number. We present the quantum chemical theory of phosphorescence and ISC together with illustrative examples. Finally, a few applications are highlighted, bridging the gap between theoretical studies and experimental applications, such as photofunctional materials.

Abstract
Vitamin B12 derivatives (Cbls = cobalamins) exhibit photolytic properties upon excitation with light. These properties can be modulated by several factors including the nature of the axial ligands. Upon excitation, homolytic cleavage of the organometallic bond to the upper axial ligand takes place in photolabile Cbls. The photosensitive nature of Cbls has made them potential candidates for light-activated drug delivery. The addition of a fluorophore to the nucleotide loop of thiolato Cbls has been shown to shift the region of photohomolysis to within the optical window of tissue (600-900 nm). With this possibility, there is a need to analyze photolytic properties of unique Cbls which contain a Co-S bond. Herein, the photodissociation of one such Cbl, namely, N-acetylcysteinylcobalamin (NACCbl), is analyzed based on density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) calculations. The S0 and S1 potential energy surfaces (PESs), as a function of axial bond lengths, were computed to determine the mechanism of photodissociation. Like other Cbls, the S1 PES contains metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) and ligand field (LF) regions, but there are some unique differences. Interestingly, the S1 PES of NACCbl contains three distinct minima regions opening several possibilities for the mechanism of radical pair (RP) formation. The mild photoresponsiveness, observed experimentally, can be attributed to the small gap in energy between the S1 and S0 PESs. Compared to other Cbls, the gap shown for NACCbl is neither exactly in line with the alkyl Cbls nor the nonalkyl Cbls.

Abstract
Two types of asymmetric binuclear platinum(ii) complexes (Pt-1 and Pt-3) bearing bridging ligands of 2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-5-(pyridin-2-yl)pyridine and 2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-4-(pyridin-2-yl)pyridine as well as their corresponding mononuclear counterparts (Pt-2, Pt-4, and Pt-5) were synthesized and characterized. Different chelating constructions of the second platinum(ii) ions and the bridging ligands in Pt-1 and Pt-3 gave rise to two kinds of electron-transition pathway during their photophysical processes. The meta-/para-carbon of nitrogen on the center pyridyl segments set different levels of ligand field strength to the second platinum(ii) ions, lowering their occupied d orbital to varying degrees. Pt-1 showed an enhanced spin-orbit coupling (SOC), caused by the additional metal component through direct orbital hybridization at higher states, where the fixed molecular skeleton induced by the additional metal-ligand bonding also helped to suppress molecular distortion in the excited state, ensuring a high quantum yield (Φ, 0.89 in toluene), which is among the best results in bimetallic complexes. While the second platinum(ii) ion in Pt-3 seemed to make no contribution to the radiative transition, and only contributed to the HOMO, it provided a benefit by enlarging the conjugate system. Solution-processed organic lighting emitting devices (OLEDs) fabricated with the bimetallic Pt-1 emitter achieved superior efficiencies and up to 21% external quantum efficiency (EQE) in the Kelly-green region.

Abstract
Photolysis of methylcobalamin (MeCbl) in the presence of molecular oxygen (O2) has been investigated using density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT). The key step involves the formation of the Cbl-O-O-CH3 intermediate as a result of triplet O2 insertion in the Co-C bond in the presence of light. Analysis of low-lying excited states shows that the presence of light is only needed to activate the Co-C bond via the formation of the ligand field (LF) state. The insertion of O2, as well as the change in the spin state, takes place in the ground state. The analysis of the structural and electronic properties of the Cbl-O-O-CH3 intermediate is presented and possible decomposition also discussed.

Abstract
The lowest-energy isomer of C 2 Si 2 H 4 is determined by high-accuracy ab initio calculations to be the bridged four-membered ring 1,2-didehydro-1,3-disilabicyclo[1.1.0]butane (1), contrary to prior theoretical and experimental studies favoring the three-member ring silylsilacyclopropenylidene (2). These and eight other low-lying minima on the potential energy surface are characterized and ordered by energy using the CCSD(T) method with complete basis set extrapolation, and the resulting benchmark-quality set of relative isomer energies is used to evaluate the performance of several comparatively inexpensive approaches based on many-body perturbation theory and density functional theory (DFT). Double-hybrid DFT methods are found to provide an exceptional balance of accuracy and efficiency for energy-ordering isomers. Free energy profiles are developed to reason the relatively large abundance of isomer 2 observed in previous measurements. Infrared spectra and photolysis reaction mechanisms are modeled for isomers 1 and 2, providing additional insight about previously reported spectra and photoisomerization channels.

Abstract
A mechanism of Co-C bond photodissociation in the base-on form of adenosylcobalamin (AdoCbl) was investigated by time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT). The key mechanistic step involves singlet radical pair (RP) generation from the first electronically excited state (S1). To connect TD-DFT calculations with ultra-fast excited state dynamics, the potential energy surface (PES) of the S1 state was constructed using Co-C and Co-NIm axial coordinates. The S1 PES can be characterized by two minima separated by a seam resulting from the crossing of two surfaces, of metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) character near the minimum, and a shallow ligand field (LF) surface at elongated axial bond distances. Only one possible pathway for photolysis (path A) was identified based on energetic grounds. This pathway is characterized by the first elongation of the Co-C bond, followed by photolysis from an LF state where the axial base is partially detached. A new perspective on the photolysis of AdoCbl is then gained by connecting TD-DFT results with available experimental observations.

Abstract
Raman spectroscopy (including surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) and tip enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS)) is a highly promising experimental method for investigations of biomolecule damage induced by ionizing radiation. However, proper interpretation of changes in experimental spectra for complex systems is often difficult or impossible, thus Raman spectra calculations based on density functional theory (DFT) provide an invaluable tool as an additional layer of understanding of underlying processes. There are many works that address the problem of basis set dependence for energy and bond length consideration, nevertheless there is still lack of consistent research on basis set influence on Raman spectra intensities for biomolecules. This study fills this gap by investigating of the influence of basis set choice for the interpretation of Raman spectra of the thymine molecule calculated using the DFT/B3LYP framework and comparing these results with experimental spectra. Among 19 selected Pople’s basis sets, the best agreement was achieved using 6-31[Formula: see text](d,p), 6-31[Formula: see text](d,p) and 6-11[Formula: see text]G(d,p) sets. Adding diffuse functions or polarized functions for small basis set or use of a medium or large basis set without diffuse or polarized functions is not sufficient to reproduce Raman intensities correctly. The introduction of the diffuse functions ([Formula: see text]) on hydrogen atoms is not necessary for gas phase calculations. This work serves as a benchmark for further research on the interaction of ionizing radiation with DNA molecules by means of ab initio calculations and Raman spectroscopy. Moreover, this work provides a set of new scaling factors for Raman spectra calculation in the framework of DFT/B3LYP method.

Abstract
This Perspective Article highlights recent theoretical developments, and summarizes the current understanding of the photolytic properties of cobalamins from a computational point of view. The primary focus is on two alkyl cobalamins, methylcobalamin (MeCbl) and adenosylcobalamin (AdoCbl), as well as two non-alkyl cobalamins, cyanocobalamin (CNCbl) and hydroxocobalamin (HOCbl). Photolysis of alkyl cobalamins involves low-lying singlet excited states where photodissociation of the Co-C bond leads to formation of singlet-born alkyl/cob(ii)alamin radical pairs (RPs). Potential energy surfaces (PESs) associated with cobalamin low-lying excited states as functions of both axial bonds, provide the most reliable tool for initial analysis of their photochemical and photophysical properties. Due to the complexity, and size limitations associated with the cobalamins, the primary method for calculating ground state properties is density functional theory (DFT), while time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) is used for electronically excited states. For alkyl cobalamins, energy pathways on the lowest singlet surface, connecting metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) and ligand field (LF) minima, can be associated with photo-homolysis of the Co-C bond observed experimentally. Additionally, energy pathways between minima and seams associated with crossing of S1/S0 surfaces, are the most efficient for internal conversion (IC) to the ground state. Depending on the specific cobalamin, such IC may involve simultaneous elongation of both axial bonds (CNCbl), or detachment of axial base followed by corrin ring distortion (MeCbl). The possibility of intersystem crossing, and the formation of triplet RPs is also discussed based on Landau-Zener theory.

Abstract
Porphyrins and the related chlorins and corrins contain a cyclic tetrapyrrole with the ability to coordinate an active metal center and to perform a variety of functions exploiting the oxidation state, reactivity, and axial ligation of the metal center. These compounds are used in optically activated applications ranging from light harvesting and energy conversion to medical therapeutics and photodynamic therapy to molecular electronics, spintronics, optoelectronic thin films, and optomagnetics. Cobalt containing corrin rings extend the range of applications through photolytic cleavage of a unique axial carbon-cobalt bond, permitting spatiotemporal control of drug delivery. The photochemistry and photophysics of cyclic tetrapyrroles are controlled by electronic relaxation dynamics including internal conversion and intersystem crossing. Typically the electronic excitation cascades through ring centered ππ* states, ligand to metal charge transfer (LMCT) states, metal to ligand charge transfer (MLCT) states, and metal centered states. Ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy provides a powerful tool for the investigation of the electronic state dynamics in metal containing tetrapyrroles. The UV-visible spectrum is sensitive to the oxidation state, electronic configuration, spin state, and axial ligation of the central metal atom. Ultrashort broadband white light probes spanning the range from 270 to 800 nm, combined with tunable excitation pulses, permit the detailed unravelling of the time scales involved in the electronic energy cascade. State-of-the-art theoretical calculations provide additional insight required for precise assignment of the states. In this Account, we focus on recent ultrafast transient absorption studies of ferric porphyrins and corrin containing cob(III)alamins elucidating the electronic states responsible for ultrafast energy cascades, excited state dynamics, and the resulting photoreactivity or photostability of these compounds. Iron tetraphenyl porphyrin chloride (Fe((III))TPPCl) exhibits picosecond decay to a metal centered d → d* (4)T state. This state decays on a ca. 16 ps time scale in room temperature solution but persists for much longer in a cryogenic glass. The photoreactivity of the (4)T state may lead to novel future applications for these compounds. In contrast, the nonplanar cob(III)alamins contain two axial ligands to the central cobalt atom. The upper axial ligand can be an alkyl group as in the two biologically active coenzymes or a nonalkyl ligand such as -CN in cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12) or -OH in hydroxocobalamin. The electronic structure, energy cascade, and bond cleavage of these compounds is sensitive to the details of the axial ligand. Nonalkylcobalamins exhibit ultrafast internal conversion to a low-lying state of metal to ligand or ligand to metal charge transfer character. The compounds are generally photostable with ground state recovery complete on a time scale of 2-7 ps in room temperature aqueous solution. Alkylcobalamins exhibit ultrafast internal conversion to an S1 state of d/π → π* character. Most compounds undergo bond cleavage from this state with near unit quantum yield within ∼100 ps. Recent theoretical calculations provide a potential energy surface accounting for these observations. Conformation dependent mixing of the corrin π and cobalt d orbitals plays a significant role in the observed photochemistry and photophysics.

Abstract
Nitrosylcobalamin (NOCbl) is readily formed when Co(II)balamin reacts with nitric oxide (NO) gas. NOCbl has been implicated in the inhibition of various B12-dependent enzymes, as well as in the modulation of blood pressure and of the immunological response. Previous studies revealed that among the known biologically relevant cobalamin species, NOCbl possesses the longest bond between the Co ion and the axially bound 5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole base, which was postulated to result from a strong trans influence exerted by the NO ligand. In this study, various spectroscopic (electronic absorption, circular dichroism, magnetic circular dichroism, and resonance Raman) and computational (density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT) techniques were used to generate experimentally validated electronic structure descriptions for the "base-on" and "base-off" forms of NOCbl. Further insights into the principal Co-ligand bonding interactions were obtained by carrying out natural bond orbital analyses. Collectively, our results indicate that the formally unoccupied Co 3dz(2) orbital engages in a highly covalent bonding interaction with the filled NO π* orbital and that the Co-NO bond is strengthened further by sizable π-backbonding interactions that are not present in any other Co(III)Cbl characterized to date. Because of the substantial NO(-) to Co(III) charge donation, NOCbl is best described as a hybrid of Co(III)-NO(-) and Co(II)-NO(•) resonance structures. In contrast, our analogous computational characterization of a related species, superoxocobalamin, reveals that in this case a Co(III)-O2(-) description is adequate due to the larger oxidizing power of O2 versus NO. The implications of our results with respect to the unusual structural features and thermochromism of NOCbl and the proposed inhibition mechanisms of B12-dependent enzymes by NOCbl are discussed.

Abstract
Coenzyme B12 (AdoCbl) is one of the most biologically active forms of vitamin B12, and continues to be a topic of active research interest. The mechanism of Co-C bond cleavage in AdoCbl, and the corresponding enzymatic reactions are however, not well understood at the molecular level. In this work, time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) has been applied to investigate the photodissociation of coenzyme B12. To reduce computational cost, while retaining the major spectroscopic features of AdoCbl, a truncated model based on ribosylcobalamin (RibCbl) was used to simulate Co-C photodissociation. Equilibrium geometries of RibCbl were obtained by optimization at the DFT/BP86/TZVP level of theory, and low-lying excited states were calculated by TD-DFT using the same functional and basis set. The calculated singlet states, and absorption spectra were simulated in both the gas phase, and water, using the polarizable continuum model (PCM). Both spectra were in reasonable agreement with experimental data, and potential energy curves based on vertical excitations were plotted to explore the nature of Co-C bond dissociation. It was found that a repulsive 3(σCo−C → σ*Co−C) triplet state became dissociative at large Co-C bond distance, similar to a previous observation for methylcobalamin (MeCbl). Furthermore, potential energy surfaces (PESs) obtained as a function of both Co-CRib and Co-NIm distances, identify the S1 state as a key intermediate generated during photoexcitation of RibCbl, attributed to a mixture of a metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) and a σ bonding-ligand charge transfer (SBLCT) states.
