For a Banach algebra A, A00 is ( 1)-weakly amenable if A0 is a Banach A00-bimodule and H1(A00; A0) = f0g. In this paper we prove some important properties of this notion, for instance if A00 is ( 1)-weakly amenable then A is essential and there is no non-zero point derivation on A. We also give some examples, namely, the SECOND DUAL of every C-algebras is ( 1)-weakly amenable. Finally, we study the relationships between the ( 1)-weakly amenability of A00 and the weak amenability of A00 or A.
