Abstract
Research on substituted polypyrazolylborate ligands could potentially lead to the development of useful compounds in the material sciences such as catalysis and metal ion extraction. A wide variety of substituents can be introduced to the pyrazole rings that modify the properties and reactivity of the complexes. Synthesis of 4-cyano-3-tolylpyrazole followed by the formation of a corresponding thallium(I) complex could allow one to examine the Tl-N bond length. When compared with other related complexes such as TlBpt-Bu, 4CN and TlBpPh, 4CN, the Tl-N bond length in the synthesized complex will help determine the effect of the new substituent.
