Abstract:
A new tris(pyrazolyl)borate ligand bearing phosphine donor groups appended to the 3-position of the pyrazolyl rings is reported, and the hemilabile behaviour of this tris-N,P ligand in coordination with K+, Tl+ and Cu+ ions is investigated.

The mathematical expression known as the wave function, ψ, contains information about each orbital and the wavelike properties of electrons in an isolated atom. When atoms are bound together in a molecule, the wave functions combine to produce new mathematical descriptions that have different shapes. This process of combining the wave functions for atomic orbitals is called hybridization and is mathematically accomplished by the linear combination of atomic orbitals. The new orbitals that...

Many covalent molecules have central atoms that do not have eight electrons in their Lewis structures. These molecules fall into three categories:
