Nine new tripodal NS2 ligands of the bis(mercaptoimidazolyl)(pyrazolyl)borate type with varying 3-R-mercaptoimidazolyl moieties were prepared as their potassium salts. Treatment with zinc salts yielded the complex types L·Zn-Cl, L·Zn-I, L·Zn-ONO2, L·Zn-OClO3 and [L·Zn(imidazole)]ClO4. Attempts at the formation of L·Zn-OH or cationic L·Zn complexes resulted in dismutation and formation of ZnL2 complexes. Hydrolytic destruction yielded one [OZn4(thiooimidazolate)6] complex. The ZnS2NO coordination which is present in the enzyme-substrate complex of alcohol dehydrogenase could be successfully modelled by an [L·Zn(C2H5OH)]+ complex. The L·Zn-X complexes showed very low catalytic activity in the dehydrogenation of 2-propanol or the hydrogenation of p-nitrobenzaldehyde. The new compounds were identified by a total of 12 structure determinations. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2003.
