Separate neutral aqueous solutions of either (a) methylcob(III)alamin ( 2 ) and (heptamethyl cob(II)yrinate) perchlorate ( 3 ) or of b) cob(II)alamin ( = vitamin B 12r ; ( 4 ) and [ Co β‐methyl(heptamethyl cob(III)yrinate)] perchlorate ( 5 ) equilibrated thermally at r.t. according to 2 + 3 ⇄ 4 + 5 . The corresponding equilibrium constant K e was determined ( K e = 0.63 ± 0.15). This equilibration experiment indicates that the coordination of the nucleotide function in methylcob(II)alamin ( 2 ) hardly affects the thermodynamics of the CoC bond homolysis in aqeous solution when compared to nucleotide‐free methylcorrinoids such as 5 .
