Trispyrazolylborate coinage metals complexes : structural features and catalytic transformations

Abstract

Tris(pyrazolyl)borates (Tpx) have become one of the most broadly used polydentate anionic ligands in coordination chemistry and catalysis since Trofimenko introduced them in 1966. Herein we present a review of the main structural features of Group 11 metal complexes with Tpx ligands, as well as their catalytic properties, can be controlled by ligand steric and electronic factors.
