Abstract:We report on the synthesis of a variety of trigonal imido cobalt complexes [Co(NAryl)L<sub>2</sub>)<sup>–</sup>, (L = N(Dipp)SiMe<sub>3</sub>), Dipp = 2,6-diisopropylphenyl) bearing very long Co–NAryl bonds of around 1.75 Å. The electronic structure was interrogated using a variety of physical and spectroscopic methods indicating the first authenticated examples of cobalt bound imidyl species. Computational studies corroborate these findings and reveal that the high-spin sta… Show more
