Abstract
The Cd-N bond distances for the tris(pyrazolyl)borate ligand in {[HC(3,5-Me (2)pz)(3)][HB(3,5-Me(2)pz)(3)]Cd}(+) average 0.09 Angstrom shorter than the Cd-N bond distances for the tris(pyrazolyl)methane ligand. In contrast, th e average Cd-N distance in [HB(3,5-Me(2)pz)(3)](2)Cd (2.348(5) Angstrom) is very similar to that in {[HC(3,5-Me(2)pz)(3)](2)Cd}(2+) (2.321(10) Angstro m). Thus, the comparison of the bonding properties of the two ligands in th e same complex is needed to differentiate bonding characteristics.
