An isolable, oxygen-coordinated silver(I) complex of dimethyl diazomalonate: Synthesis and characterization of [HB (3,5-(CF3)(2)Pz)(3)]Ag[OC (OCH3)](2)CN2 (where Pz = pyrazolyl)
The use of a highly fluorinated tris(pyrazolyl)borate ligand to stabilize a silver(I) adduct containing dimethyl diazomalonate is described. [HB(3,5-(CF3)(2)Pz)(3)]Ag[OC(OCH3)](2)CN2 is a thermally stable solid (ca 90 degreesC). It shows an uncommon coodination mode for a diazoalkane ligand.
