Three new palladium(II) complexes incorporating the bispyrazolylmethane core have been synthesised and fully characterised in the solution and solid state. Single crystal X-ray studies revealed almost complete blocking of the upper face of the palladium ion by the substituents at the 3- and 5-positions of the pyrazole rings. Preliminary screening of the complexes for palladium(II) mediated catalysis revealed good catalytic activity for the Heck coupling reaction.

The synthesis of a novel unsymmetrical bis(pyrazol-1-yl) ligand, (3,5-diphenylpyrazol-1-yl-3′,5′-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)methane (dpmpzm), 1, has been studied. Deprotonation at the methylene group of 1 with BunLi, followed by reaction with carbon dioxide yielded a racemic mixture of [{Li(dpmpza)(H2O)}4], 2 [dpmpza = (3,5-diphenylpyrazol-1-yl-3′,5′-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)acetate], which is a novel chiral monoanionic NNO tripod ligand. This compound is an excellent precursor for the introduction of this scorpionate ligand into transition metal complexes. The complexes [NbCl3(dme)(RC≡CR′)] (dme = 1,2-dimethoxyethane) reacted with 2, to give the corresponding [NbCl 2(dpmpza)(RC≡CR′)] complexes (R = R′ = Me 3; R = R′ = SiMe3, 4; R = Ph, R′ = Me, 5; R = Ph, R′ = Et, 6). The structures of these complexes have been determined by spectroscopic methods. Variable-temperature NMR studies of these complexes were carried out in order to study their dynamic behaviour in solution. The barriers to alkyne rotation have also been calculated. The reactivity of [NbCl2(dpmpza) (Me3SiOC≡CSiMe3)], 4, toward molecular oxygen is particularly noteworthy since it led to the formation of the first gem-diolate niobium species, [(NbCl2O)2(μ-η1O, O′tpzpdo)], 7 [tpzpdo = 1,3-bis(3,5-diphenylpyrazol-1-yl)-1,3- bis(3′,5′-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)-2,2′-propanediolate], in a process that has no precedent in the literature. The molecular structure of this gem-diolate has been determined crystallographically. The Royal Society of Chemistry 2003.
