title: Reactivity of a Co(I) [N(2)P(2)] complex with azides: evidence for a transient Co(III) imido species.
abstract: The synthesis of a monomeric Co(i) complex supported by a multidentate monoanionic [N(2)P(2)] ligand is described; interaction with aryl azides at low temperature generates a species whose reactivity is consistent with imido ("Co[double bond, length as m-dash]NR") character.
