Hi Jani,

I am assuming you are using AMBER 11 + AmberTools 1.5 with the latest
bugfixes. In this case the relevant source code is
$AMBERHOME/AmberTools/src/qmmm_module.f with the routine:

  !+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
  !+Identify qm atom elements.
  subroutine get_atomic_number(atom_name,atom_mass,atomic_number)
    !

...
...

    !Nobel Gasses are not supported.
    !Lanthanides are not supported.
    !Actinides are not supported.

    if(atom_name(1:1) .eq. 'a' .or. atom_name(1:1) .eq. 'A') then
       if(atom_mass > 24.0d0 .and. atom_mass <= 28.0d0) then
          atomic_number = 13 !Aluminium
...
...
... and the critical section for you ...
    elseif(atom_name(1:1) .eq. 'c' .or. atom_name(1:1) .eq. 'C') then
       if(atom_mass > 10.0d0 .and. atom_mass <= 14.0d0) then
          atomic_number = 6 !Carbon
       elseif(atom_mass > 33.0d0 .and. atom_mass <= 37.0d0) then
          atomic_number = 17 !Chlorine
       elseif(atom_mass > 38.0d0 .and. atom_mass <= 42.0d0) then
          atomic_number = 20 !Calcium
       elseif(atom_mass > 50.0d0 .and. atom_mass <= 54.0d0) then
          atomic_number = 24 !Chromium
       elseif(atom_mass > 57.0d0 .and. atom_mass <= 61.0d0) then
          atomic_number = 27 !Cobalt
       elseif(atom_mass > 61.0d0 .and. atom_mass <= 65.0d0) then
          atomic_number = 29 !Copper
       elseif(atom_mass > 110.0d0 .and. atom_mass <= 114.0d0) then
          atomic_number = 48 !Cadmium
       elseif(atom_mass > 131.0d0 .and. atom_mass <= 135.0d0) then
          atomic_number = 55 !Cesium
       else
          write(6,*) 'Unable to correctly identify element ', atom_name
          call mexit(6,1)
       endif

Note if the atomic mass is between 57 and 61 it will identify the element as
cobalt. What is the atomic mass of the cobalt in your prmtop file?

I would also make sure that Xleap itself identified the atom as cobalt and
gave it the correct VDW parameters and atomic mass. My betting is that leap
thinks it is a carbon - So you should probably check this first - find the
cobalt in your prmtop file and find it's mass in the MASS section of said
file.

If you are using AMBER 10 and/or AMBERTools 1.4 or earlier then you will
almost certainly need to upgrade.

All the best
Ross
