Abstract High-valent metal-oxo species are suggested to mediate several important oxidation reaction; C-H bond activation and water oxidation, for instance. Since the transition metal-oxo complexes have a short life time, spectroscopic analysis is thus difficult. Despite of the difficulty in preparing for short-lived metal-oxo species, the identification of the geometric and electronic structures of the species is crucial due to its importance in elucidating the catalytic mechanism. Recently, some studies have found that high-valent cobalt-oxo intermediates are synthesized and successfully captured. In this poster, we will present EPR spectroscopic result of a high-valent cobalt-oxo intermediate. Multi-frequency (9/34/94 GHz) continuous wave (CW) and electron spin echo (ESE) EPR on the cobalt complex were performed and Q-band (34 GHz) electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR), electron spin echo envelope modulation (ESEEM) and X-band hyperfine sub-level correlation (HYSCORE) experiments were conducted to investigate the electronic structure of the cobalt-oxo intermediate. In addition, Q-band 1H ENDOR, 14N ESEEM and X-band 14N HYSCORE measurements were perfomed to explore the more detailed geometry of the cobalt complex. This study supports the powerful spectroscopic evidence of the electronic structure of CoIV(O) species.
