Pyrazolyl[(methylthio)methyl]borates: hybrid ligands providing nitrogen and sulfur donors

Abstract

Two new borate ligands, PhB(CH₂SCH₃)₂(pz)^– (1^–) and Ph₂B(CH₂SCH₃)(pz)^– (2^–) (pz = 1-pyrazolyl), have been prepared to provide mixed donor sets, ‘NS₂’ and ‘NS’, respectively, to transition metal ions.
