The reaction of nBuLi with 3,5-dimethylpyrazole (Me2pzH) in Et2O or tmeda/hexane (tmeda=N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethane-1,2-diamine) and with 3,5-dimethyl-4-nitropyrazolate (Me2pzHNO2) in THF results in the formation of three structurally diverse lithium pyrazolates: namely an Et2O-solvated tetrameric complex [Li4(Me2pz)4(OEt2)4], bridged entirely with μ-η2:η1-pyrazolate bonding, a hexanuclear complex [Li6(Me2pz)6(tmeda)2] with four different coordination modes (μ-η1:η1, μ-η2:η1, μ3-η1:η2:η1 and μ3-η2:η2:η1), and a new polymeric compound [Li2(Me2pzNO2)2(thf)2]n, with [Li2(Me2pzNO2)2(thf)2] groups linked by –NO2 coordination. A mononuclear zinc complex [Zn(tBu2pz)2(tBu2pzH)2].1/2THF (tBu2pzH=3,5-di-tert-butylpyrazole) was prepared by reaction of tBu2pzH with ZnEt2, unidentate tBu2pz groups being stabilised by N–H⋯N hydrogen bonding. Treatment of 3,5-diphenylpyrazole (Ph2pzH) with trimethylaluminium (mole ratio 3:1) in THF led to the formation of dinuclear [AlMe2(μ-Ph2pz)]2.1/2THF.

Two coordination polymers (CPs) with chemical formulas, [Ho2(C4O4)2(C2O4)(H2O)8]·4H2O (1) and [Ho(C4O4)1.5(H2O)3] (2), (C4O42− = dianion of squaric acid, C2O42− = oxalate), have been synthesized and their structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffractometer (XRD). In compound 1, the coordination environment of Ho(III) ion is eight-coordinate bonded to eight oxygen atoms from two squarate, one oxalate ligands and four water molecules. The squarates and oxalates both act as bridging ligands with 1,2-bis-monodentate and bis-chelating coordination modes, respectively, connecting the Ho(III) ions to form a one-dimensional (1D) ladder-like framework. Adjacent ladders are interlinked via O–HO hydrogen bonding interaction to form a hydrogen-bonded two-dimensional (2D) layered framework and then arranged orderly in an AAA manner to construct its three-dimensional (3D) supramolecular architecture. In compound 2, the coordination geometry of Ho(III) is square-antiprismatic eight coordinate bonded to eight oxygen atoms from five squarate ligands and three water molecules. The squarates act as bridging ligands with two coordination modes, 1,2,3-trismonodentate and 1,2-bis-monodentate, connecting the Ho(III) ions to form a 2D bi-layered framework. Adjacent 2D frameworks are then parallel stacked in an AAA manner to construct its 3D supramolecular architecture. Hydrogen bonding interactions between the squarate ligands and coordinated water molecules in 1 and 2 both play important roles on the construction of their 3D supramolecular assembly. Compounds 1 and 2 both show remarkable ligand-enhanced photo-induced color-changing behavior, with their pink crystals immediately turning to yellow crystals under UV light illumination.

Titanium tetra-butoxide was reacted with dichloroacetic acid in 1 : 1 and 1 : 2 molar ratio in toluene at ambient temperature to give, respectively, the mono- and bis-substituted products Ti(OBun)3(OOCCHCl2) and Ti(OBun)2(OOCCHCl2)2 (1) in quantitative yields. However, when a toluene solution of compound 1 was kept at −20 ◦C for crystallisation, colourless crystals of a hexanuclear complex Ti6(μ2-O)2(μ3-O)2(μ2-OC4H9)2(OC4H9)6(OOCCHCl2)8 (2) were obtained. The basic skeletal arrangement of compound 2, as revealed by X-ray diffraction, can be described as corner-removed, inversion-related [Ti-O]4 cubes with face-linked oxide bridges.

Tris(2-pyridylseleno)methane, [Tpsem]H, has been employed to synthesize the bis(trimethylsilyl)amido zinc complex [κ3-Tpsem]ZnN(SiMe3)2. The latter compound provides access to a variety of other [Tpsem]ZnX derivatives, which include the isocyanate complex [κ4-Tpsem]ZnNCO, the hydrosulfido complex [κ3-Tpsem]ZnSH, the sulfido complex {[κ3-Tpsem]Zn}2(μ-S), the 2 : 1 complex [κ2-Tpsem]2Zn and the pyridyl-2-selenolate complex [κ4-Tpsem]Zn-(κ2-SeC6H4N), thereby demonstrating that the [Tpsem] ligand can exhibit κ2-, κ3-, and κ4-coordination modes. Variable-temperature 1H NMR spectroscopic studies demonstrate that [κ3-Tpsem]ZnN(SiMe3)2, [κ3-Tpsem]ZnSH, and {[κ3-Tpsem]Zn}2(μ-S) are fluxional on the NMR timescale.
