KTp is a white crystalline solid that is soluble in polar solvents, alcohols, and water. The synthesis of KTp involves potassium borohydride and pyrazole without a solvent.[2]
- KBH4 + 3 C3N2H4 → KHB(C3N2H3)3 + 3 H2
The tris(pyrazolyl)borate forms octahedral coordination compounds with the formula M[Tp]2 with first row transition metals. KTp also forms 1:1 complexes, for example it can be converted to K[TpMo(CO)3];
- KTp + Mo(CO)6→K[TpMo(CO)3] + 3 CO
When K[TpMo(CO)3] is treated with butyl nitrite it yields the neutral orange complex TpMo(CO)2NO.[3]
- K[TpMo(CO)3]+ BuONO→TpMo(CO)2NO+CO+KOBu
