Four cobalt(III) azide complexes, [Co(III)(bpy)(2)(N-3)(2)]X [X = p-toluenesulfonate (1), tetrafluoroborate (2), chloride (3)] and [Co(III)(bpy)(2)(N-3)(2)][Co(III)(bpy)(N-3)(4)] (4), were prepared under ambient conditions and their structures have been determined. Complex 4 is structurally interesting; it accommodates four azides in the anionic part of the complex. Complexes 1-4 show exothermic processes at <250 degrees C, and compound 4 reductively decomposes at 221 degrees C.
