67Zn Solid-State NMR Spectroscopy of {[TpBut,Me]Zn(OH2)}[HOB(C6F5)3]. The Importance of the Anion [HOB(C6F5)3]−

“…The nature of that anion is critical to the stability and functionality of the overall complex. Recently, this synthetic challenge has been the focus of several reports. – Of particular interest to us here is the tris(pyrazoyl)hydroborato complex {[Tp But,Me ]Zn(OH 2 )}[HOB(C 6 F 5 ) 3 ] ( I ) (Figure ) , because of the close structural resemblance to [(Im) 3 ZnOH 2 ] 2+ (where the abbreviation “Im” is used to denote the imidazole portion of the histidine ligand bound to the Zn 2+ ), although there are some important differences. For example: (i) in CA, two of the histidines coordinate through their ε-nitrogens, whereas one coordinates through its δ-nitrogen, and (ii) the charge associated with the aqua species {[Tp But,Me ]Zn(OH 2 )} + is +1 for I , whereas it is +2 for the aqua form of CA [(Im) 3 ZnOH 2 ] 2+ .…”
