Terminal CoIV-oxo species are key intermediates in various cobalt-mediated oxidation reactions, but little is known about their chemical properties. Here the authors generate and isolate a mononuclear non-haem CoIV-O complex and analyse its structure and reactivity towards a range of catalytic transformations.
