The 3d-metal mediated nitrene transfer is under intense scrutiny due to its potential as an atom economic and ecologically benign way for the directed amination of (un)functionalised C-H bonds. Here we present the isolation and characterisation of a rare, trigonal imido cobalt(III) complex, which bears a rather long cobalt-imido bond. It can cleanly cleave strong C-H bonds with a bond dissociation energy of up to 92 kcal mol in an intermolecular fashion, unprecedented for imido cobalt complexes. This resulted in the amido cobalt(II) complex [Co(hmds) (NH Bu)] . Kinetic studies on this reaction revealed an H atom transfer mechanism. Remarkably, the cobalt(II) amide itself is capable of mediating H atom abstraction or stepwise proton/electron transfer depending on the substrate. A cobalt-mediated catalytic application for substrate dehydrogenation using an organo azide is presented.

Reaction of the Co complex [(TIMMN )Co ](PF ) (1) (TIMMN =tris-[2-(3-mesityl-imidazolin-2-ylidene)-methyl]amine) with mesityl azide yields the Co imide [(TIMMN )Co (NMes)](PF ) (2). Oxidation of 2 with [FeCp ](PF ) provides access to a rare Co imidyl [(TIMMN )Co(NMes)](PF ) (3). Single-crystal X-ray diffractometry and EPR spectroscopy confirm the molecular structure of 3 and its S= ground state.

The reaction of the cobalt(I) complex [(TIMMN )Co ](BPh ) (2) (TIMMN =tris-[2-(3-mesitylimidazolin-2-ylidene)methyl]amine) with 1-adamantylazide yields the cobalt(III) imido complex [(TIMMN )Co (NAd)](BPh ) (3) with concomitant release of dinitrogen. The N-anchor in diamagnetic 3 features an unusual, planar tertiary amine, which results from repulsive electrostatic interaction with the filled d(z )-orbital of the cobalt ion and negative hyperconjugation with the neighboring methylene groups. One-electron oxidation of 3 with [FeCp ](OTf) provides access to the rare, high-valent cobalt(IV) imido complex [(TIMMN )Co (NAd)](OTf) (4).

Room temperature photolysis of the bis(azide)cobaltate(II) complex [Na(THF)][(guan)Co(N)] (guan = [(BuCN)C(NDipp)], Dipp = 2,6-diisopropylphenyl) () in THF cleanly forms the binuclear cobalt nitride Na(THF){[(guan)Co(N)](μ-N)} (). Compound represents the first example of an isolable, bimetallic cobalt nitride complex, and it has been fully characterized by spectroscopic, magnetic, and computational analyses. Density functional theory supports a Co═N═Co canonical form with significant π-bonding between the cobalt centers and the nitride atom.

The reactions of [Co(PMe)] with the bulky organic azides, DippN and DmpN [Dipp, 2,6-diisopropylphenyl; Dmp, 2,6-di(2',4',6'-trimethylphenyl)phenyl], afforded the cobalt(II) terminal imido complexes [(MeP)Co(NAr)] (Ar = Dipp, 1; Dmp, 2). The cobalt imido complexes in their solid states show trigonal pyramidal coordination geometry and long Co-N(imido) separations (ca. 1.
