The potential of a new anionic octahedral metal complex [Ru(III)(acac)2(pz)2](-) ((-)) (pzH = pyrazole) as a ligand with a scorpionate coordination behaviour like tris(pyrazolyl)borate (tp) and reversible redox activity is presented. Trinuclear metal complexes, [Ru(III)2Zn(II)(acac)4(pz)4] () and [Ru(II)Ru(III)2(acac)4(pz)4] (), were each synthesized by the reaction of ZnCl2 or Ru3(CO)12 with [Ru(III)(acac)2(pz)(pzH)] (H) that is in situ deprotonated and acts as a precursor of (-). Single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies clarified that (-) acts as a scorpionate ligand; two (-) units in and one unit in function as bidentate ligands with two pyrazolates as pincers, while another (-) unit in functions as a tridentate ligand with one oxygen atom as a tail in addition to the two pyrazolate pincers. Moreover, and showed reversible multi-stage redox behaviours based on the Ru(II)/Ru(III) and Ru(III)/Ru(IV) couples of the (-) units in the cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurements. Based on the X-ray, IR, and CV measurements and the comparison with other Ru(ii) complexes with tp derivatives, the (-) unit was found to act as a redox-active scorpionate with electron withdrawing properties compared to the tp.

A series of mononuclear Co(II) complexes with noninnocent (redox-active) ligands are prepared that exhibit metal-ligand cooperativity during the reversible binding of O. The complexes have the general formula, [Co()(Tp)] (R = Me, Ph), where is a bidentate -aminothiophenolate and Tp is a hydrotris(pyrazol-1-yl)borate scorpionate with R-substituents at the 3- and 5-positions. Exposure to O at room temperature results in one-electron oxidation and deprotonation of .

Coordination complexes that possess large magnetic anisotropy (otherwise known as zero-field splitting, ZFS) have possible applications in the field of magnetic materials, including single molecule magnets (SMMs). Previous studies have explored the role of coordination number and geometry in controlling the magnetic anisotropy and SMM behavior of high-spin ( = 3/2) Co(II) complexes. Building upon these efforts, the present work examines the impact of ligand oxidation state and structural distortions on the spin states and ZFS parameters of pentacoordinate Co(II) complexes.

Scorpionate (or trispyrazolylborate) ligands have seen much structural variation due to the relative ease of modifying their electronic and steric effects. Second-generation scorpionates were created by increasing the bulk in the 3-position of the pyrazole (pz) ring. A new class of third-generation scorpionates was obtained by modifying the remaining boron substituent.

A number of novel, water-stable redox-active cobalt complexes of the C-functionalized tripodal ligands tris(pyrazolyl)methane XC(pz)(3) (X = HOCH(2), CH(2)OCH(2)Py or CH(2)OSO(2)Me) are reported along with their effects on DNA. The compounds were isolated as air-stable solids and fully characterized by IR and FIR spectroscopies, ESI-MS(+/-), cyclic voltammetry, controlled potential electrolysis, elemental analysis and, in a number of cases, also by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. They showed moderate cytotoxicity in vitro towards HCT116 colorectal carcinoma and HepG2 hepatocellular carcinoma human cancer cell lines.
