Notes:
The 1- and 2-D coordination polymers [Mn{HB(C2H2N3)3}2(H2O)2].4H2O (11) and [Ni{H2B(CHN4)2}2-(NH3)2] (13), respectively, and the chelate complex [Ni{H2B(C2H2N3)2}2(H2O)2] · 2H2O (12) were synthesized and structurally characterized. The compounds contain ambidentate poly(azolyl)borato ligands (azolyl = triazolyl or tetrazolyl), which can chelate or bridge metal centers. The metal-ligand structures in 11-13 differ from the known coordination modes of the poly(azolyl)borates towards other metal centers. We describe how a change in the metal and/or the conditions of crystallization affects the ligand-field stabilization energy and favors one type of nitrogen donor atom over the other for the poly(triazolyl)borato ligands. The crystal structures of 11 and 12 contain additional water of crystallization; this leads to hydrogen-bonded solvent substructures. In the case of the bis(triazolyl)borato ligands. The crystal structures of 11 and 12 contain additional water of crystallization; this leads to hydrogen-bonded solvent substructures. In the case of the bis(tetrazolyl)borato ligand the water substructure is shown to function as a “reinforcing bar” that symmetrizes the metal-ligand grid sheet.
