The stereoselectivity on the electron-transfer reaction between optical active ¥Ë-[CO(EDDS)]- and conformationally restricted complex [Co(¡¾chxn)3]2+ has been examined in aqueous solution. The products are four conformational isomers (lel3, lel2ob, lelob2, and ob3) of ¡â-[Co(chxn)3]3+ with optical purities of 22% e.e, 25% e.e, 11% e.e, and 10% e.e, respectively. The reaction between ¥Ë-[CO(EDDS)]- and [Co(¡¾chxn)3]2+ in DMSO produced lel3-¡â and lel2ob-¡â-[Co(chxn)3]3+ whose optical purities are 100% e.e, and 75% e.e, respectively.
