Abstract
The reaction of NaBH4 and HC(pz)(3) in thf yields {[HC(pz)(3)](thf)Na(mu (1 )(1), mu (1)(1)-BH4)}(2). The solid state structure shows that the two BH4 ligands bridge the sodium atoms in an unusual manner such that only one hyd rogen in each bonds to each sodium forming two mu (1)(1),mu (1)(1)-type bon ds. The reaction of HC(3,5-Me(2)pz)(3) and NaBH4 in either a 1:1 or 2:1 rat io yields {[HC(3,5-Me(2)pz)(3)](2)Na}(BH4). The solid state structure shows that both HC(3,5-Me(2)pz)(3) ligands are coordinated to sodium in a trigon ally distorted octahedral arrangement and the BH4 group is the counter-ion.
