Reduction of the cobalt(II) chloride complex, Ph2B(tBuIm)2Co(THF)Cl (1) in the presence oftBuN≡C affords the diamagnetic, square planar cobalt(I) complex Ph2B(tBuIm)2Co(C≡NtBu)2(2). This is a rare example of a 16‐electron cobalt(I) complex that is structurally related to square planar noble metal complexes. Accordingly, the electronic structure of2, as calculated by DFT, reveals that the HOMO is largely dz2in character. Complex2is readily oxidized to its cobalt(II) congener [Ph2B(tBuIm)2Co(C=NtBu)2]BPh4(3‐BPh4), whose EPR spectral parameters are characteristic of low‐spin d7with an unpaired electron in an orbital of dz2parentage. This is also consistent with the results of DFT calculations. Despite its 16‐electron configuration and the dz2parentage of the HOMO, the only tractable reactions of2involve one electron oxidation to afford3.
