Both tetrakis(trimethylphosphine)cobalt(0) and methyltetrakis (trimethylphosphine)cobalt(I) react with 2-(benzylidene-amino)pyridine (1) exclusively giving a complex of composition (η2(N,C)-2-Py-N=CH- C6H5)Co(PMe3)3 (2), which is shown by single-crystal X-ray diffraction to constitute the first π-coordinate imine cobalt(0) complex. The route of formation is proposed and discussed.
