Abstract
Oxidation numbers: (−I) in [Co(CO)4]– (II) in Co2+, (III) in Co3+ and (IV) in CoO2. In [Co(CO)3(NO)] (from a non-aqueous source) we could, without further structural information, classify Co as Co0 but might also well see it as [Co–(CO)3(NO+)] in spite of the electronegativities (because NO+ is isoelectronic with the very stable N2 and CO), or as [Co+(NO–)(CO)3], assigning the metal as usual a positive oxidation state. (These assignments, within molecules, are partly but not entirely arbitrary.) Various experiments and calculations, not described here, also reveal NO both as a primarily neutral radical, e.g., in [Ir3+(Cl–)5(NO+)] and as NO+ in [Ru3+(Cl–)5(NO+)]. See 6.1.2 and 8.1.2 Oxidized nitrogen also.
