The synthesis, characterization, and reactivity of a series of cobalt terminal imido complexes supported by an Nanchored tripodal tris(carbene) chelate is described, including a Cosupported singlet nitrene. Reaction of the Co I precursor [(TIMMN mes )Co I ](PF 6 ) (TIMMN mes = tris- [2-(3-mesityl-imidazolin-2-ylidene)-methyl]amine) with p-methoxyphenyl azide yields a Co III imide [(TIMMN mes )Co III (NAnisole)](PF 6 ) (1). Treatment of 1 with 1 equiv of [FeCp 2 ](PF 6 ) at −35 °C affords a formal Co IV imido complex [(TIMMN mes )Co(NAnisole)](PF 6 ) 2 (2), which features a bent Co−N(imido)−C(Anisole) linkage. Subsequent one-electron oxidation of 2 with 1 equiv of AgPF 6 provides access to the tricationic cobalt imido complex [(TIMMN mes )Co-(NAnisole)](PF 6 ) 3 (3). All complexes were fully characterized, including single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SC-XRD) analyses, infrared (IR) vibrational, ultraviolet/visible (UV/vis) electronic absorption, multinuclear NMR, X-band electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR), and high-energy-resolution fluorescence-detected X-ray absorption spectroscopy (HERFD XAS). Quantum chemical calculations provide additional insight into the electronic structures of all compounds. The dicationic Co IV imido complex 2 exhibits a doublet ground state with considerable imidyl character as a result of covalent Co−NAnisole bonding. At room temperature, 2 readily converts to a Co II amine complex involving intramolecular C−H bond amination. Electronically, tricationic complex 3 can be understood as a singlet nitrene bound to Co III with significant Co IV imidyl radical character. Verifying the pronounced electrophilicity, nucleophiles such as H 2 O and t BuNH 2 add to 3�analogous to the parent free nitrene�in the para position of the aromatic substituent, thus, clearly corroborating singlet nitrene-type reactivity.
