A new bis(dimethylglyoximato)cobalt(III) complex with a bulky chiral alkyl group bonded to the Co atom has been prepared, [Co(C4H7N2O2)2(C10H13O4)(C8H11N)]. The crystal was irradiated with a xenon lamp. Racemization of the crystalline state was not observed for the crystal since the reaction cavity for the chiral alkyl group appears to be too small.
