Evidence for the formation of a unique, six-coordinate cobalamin(II) complex with the anion-radical SO2- during the reduction of aquacobalamin(III) by sodium dithionite, was obtained from spectrophotometric and EPR measurements. The pK(a) value of the weakly coordinated dimethylbenzimidazole group was found to be 4.8 +/- 0.1 at 25 degrees C.
