SYNTHESES AND CD-113 NMR-STUDIES OF 5-COORDINATE COMPLEXES WITH CDN5,CDN3O2, AND CDN3S2 CENTRAL CORES - SOLID-STATE STRUCTURES OF [HB(3-PHPZ)(3)]CD[H2B(3,5-ME(2)PZ)(2)] AND [HB(3,5-ME(2)PZ)(3)]CD[S(2)CNET(2)](PZ EQUALS PYRAZOLYL)

The reaction of CdCl2 with equimolar amounts of K[HB(3,5-Me(2)pz)(3)] (pz = pyrazolyl) and K[H2B(3,5-Me(2)pz)(2)] or K[HB(3-Phpz)(3)] and ei ther K[H2B(pz)(2)] or K[H2B(3,5-Me(2)pz)(2)] yields, respectively, the five-coordinate complexes [HB(3,5-Me(2)pz)(3)]Cd[H2B(3,5-Me(2)pz)(2)] (1), [HB(3-Phpz)(3)]Cd[H2B(pz)(2)] (2), and [HB(3-Phpz)(3)]Cd[H2B(3,5 -Me(2)pz)(2)] (3). The structure of 3 has been characterized in the so lid state by X-ray crystallography. The complex has a square pyramidal arrangement of the nitrogen donor atoms about cadmium. Solution state H-1 NMR studies indicate that this geometry is retained in solution. Complexes 1-3 show solution Cd-113 NMR resonances in the range delta 1 93.6-224.3 ppm (vs Cd(ClO4)(2)). The complexes containing the [HB(3-Ph pz)(3)](-) ligand have the more shielded resonances. This range overla ps the region observed for poly(pyrazolyl)borate complexes with CdN6 i nner cores (delta 94.0-221.1 ppm). Six complexes with a CdN3O2 inner c ore of the formula [HB(3-Phpz)(3)]Cd[(RCO)(2)CH] (R = Bu(t), Ph, CF3), [HB(3-Bu(t)pz)(3)]Cd[(Bu(t)CO)(2)CH], [B(3-Pr(i)pz)(4)]Cd[(Bu(t)CO)(2 )CH], and [HB(3-Bu(t)pz)(3)]Cd(CH3CO2) have been prepared by the react ion of CdCl2 or Cd(NO3)(2) and the appropriate ligand salts. These com plexes show solution Cd-113 NMR resonances in the range delta 141.8-17 9.8 ppm, with the [(Bu(t)CO)(2)CH](-) ligand complexes the most deshie lded and [HB(3-Phpz)(3)]Cd[(CF3CO)(2)CH] the most shielded. Two comple xes with N3S2 inner cores, [HB(3,5-Me(2)pz)(3)]Cd[Et(2)NCS(2)] (10) an d [HB(3-Phpz)(3)]Cd[Et(2)NCS(2)] (11), have been prepared. The structu re of 10 has been determined by X-ray crystallography. The donor atoms are arranged about cadmium in an irregular five-coordinate geometry. Complex 10 shows a solution Cd-113 signal at delta 265.7 and 11 at 237 .5 ppm.
