	abstract = {<p>New cationic mono-cyclopentadienyl complexes of Co(III) containing mono or bidentate nitrogen donor ligands of general formula [Co(eta (5)-C5H5)(PPh3)L-2][BF4](2) (L = NC-CH3, 2, and NC = Ph, 3) or [Co(eta (5)-C5H5)(PPh3)(L-L)[BF4](2), [L-L = 2,2 {\textquoteright} -bisimidazole (H(2)biim) (4) and dipyridylamine [HN(NC5H5)(2)] (5) have been synthesised by the stoichiometric reaction of the Co(III) complex Co(eta (5)-C5H5)(PPh3)I-2 (1), with Ag[BF4] and the appropriate ligand in CH2Cl2. Under the same conditions and using;trans-azobenzene as a ligand, an orthometalation reaction took placet giving the new compound [Co(eta (5)-C5H5)(PPh3)(kappa -C,kappa -N-C6H4N=NPh)][BF4] (6) in high yield. The structural characterisation of compounds 4 and 6, and of the starting compound Co(eta (5)-C5H5)(PPh3)I-2 (1) was done by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. DFT calculations (ADF program) were performed in order to understand the orthometallation reaction. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.</p>
