Reactivity of a Co(I) [N2P2] complex with azides: evidence for a transient Co(III) imido species

Wayne A. Chomitz and John Arnold


The synthesis of a monomeric Co(I) complex supported by a multidentate monoanionic [N2P2] ligand is described; interaction with aryl azides at low temperature generates a species whose reactivity is consistent with imido (CoNR) character.
