Complex cobalt oxides known as cobaltites are reviewed, including LnCoO3-based perovskite-structured rare-earth cobaltites (where Ln is lanthanum or a lanthanide), quasi-two-dimensional and quasi-one-dimensional cobaltites of the types LnCo2O5+δ, La2CoO4, and Ca3Co2O8, and NaxCoO2 · yH2O superconducting compounds. Key experimental and theoretical results are presented, with emphasis on the interplay between charge, spin, and orbital degrees of
freedom. Two problems of specific relevance to cobaltites — the
spin state instability of Co3+ ions in LnCoO3, and the nature of superconductivity in NaxCoO2 · yH2O also given significant attention.
