A versatile Co-catalyst-vitamin B12 (cobalamin)-can be photochemically reduced to its catalytically active Co(I) formunder visible light irradiation, in the presence of MIL-125-NH2(Ti) as a photocatalyst and utilized for the generation of alkyl radicals. The prior reduction of cobalamin to the Co(II) form is not required in this method.
