Tripod‐Cobalt Formate Complexes of Oxidation States +II and +I The syntheses of the ( tripod )cobalt formate complexes [( tri‐pod )Co(O 2 CH)] n+ ( 1/1 + ; n = 0, 1; tripod = CH 3 C(CH 2 PPh 2 ) 3 ) are presented. The structures are established by X‐ray analyses as well as the usual analytical techniques.
