Methyl vitamin B12 is shown to be capable of transferring methyl groups to HgII, TlIII, PtII, and AuI; two different reaction paths are involved, one of which, with HgII or TlIII, is an acid-base reaction while the other is probably an oxidation-reduction reaction for it requires both PtII and PtIV, or AuI and AuIII.
