Cerium(IV) induces electron transfer in penta-ammineoxaloacetatocobalt(III) perchlorate, yielding CO2 and cobalt(II) quantitatively as ultimate products due to carbon–carbon bond fission. Enzymatic decarboxylation of oxaloacetic acid yields only pyruvic acid, whereas cerium(IV) oxidises oxaloacetic acid to CO2, probably because of radical intervention.

Cerium(IV)-induced decarboxylation of penta-ammineoxaloacetatocobalt(III) perchlorate yields CO2 and cobalt(II) as products, while enzymatic decarboxylation of oxaloacetic
