Abstract: The paper presents the results of the photochemical studies of the complexes trans-[Co(L_eq)(L_ax)₂]X in methanol, where L(eq) = N,N'-ethylene-bis(acetylacetoniminato) or N,N'-ethylenebis(salicylideniminato) dianion; L_ax = NH₃ or pyridine; X^- = Cl^- or NCS^-. The phenomenon of equatorial -axial interactions of ligands via the central atom in complexes forms the basis on which the results are interpreted.
