Summary:Two scorpionates sodium trihydro(3-nitro-pyrazol-1-yl)borate (Na[H 3 B(3-(NO 2 )pz)]) and sodium hydrotris(3-nitro-pyrazol-1-yl)borate (Na[HB(3-(NO 2 )pz) 3 ]), featuring electron withdrawing substituents, have been synthesized in high yield starting from 3(5)-nitropyrazole and sodium borohydride. The treatment of CuX (X = (CH 3 CN) 4 PF 6 , Cl or I) with Na[H 3 B(3-(NO 2 )pz)], Na[HB(3-(NO 2 )pz) 3 ] or the related bis(pyrazolyl)borate Na[H 2 B(3-(NO 2 )pz) 2 ] in the presence of triphenylphosphine or tert -butyl isocyanide afforded the corresponding (azolyl)borate supported copper( i ) triphenylphosphine or tert -butyl isocyanide adducts. These compounds have been characterized by elemental analyses, FT-IR, ESI-MS and multinuclear NMR spectroscopy. X-Ray crystal structures of [H 3 B(3-(NO 2 )pz)]Cu[P(C 6 H 5 ) 3 ] 2 , [H 2 B(3-(NO 2 )pz)]Cu(CN t -Bu) 2 , and [HB(3-(NO 2 )pz) 3 ]Cu[P(C 6 H 5 ) 3 ], as well as that of the {[HB(3-(NO 2 )pz) 3 ]Na} 4 are also reported. The latter displays a particularly interesting tetrameric structure with each tris(pyrazolyl)borate adopting an unusual inverted configuration and serves as a bridging ligand for three different sodium ions. Weakly coordinating scorpionates based on nitro-pyrazoles have been synthesized.
