Bis(4-carboxylpyrazol-1-yl)acetic acid (H3bcpza) (2), obtained in a one-pot synthesis, contains carboxyl groups that differ in their pKa values. The ligand exhibits heteroscorpionate κ3-N,N,O-coordination whereupon the peripheral carboxyl groups are not...

The hetereoscorpionate ligands bis(pyrazol-1-yl)acetic acid (Hbpza) and bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)acetic acid (Hbdmpza) are reacted with [Sn(OAc)2] or [Sn(acac)2] to yield the corresponding Sn(II) complexes. A single crystal X-ray determination for the in...
