We are interested in applying template synthesis to the formation of new scorpionates that offer hydrogen bonds near the metal center.  The synthesis of tris(pyrazole)zinc halide salts are known in the literature,  but not much is known on whether new reaction pathways can be established with these salts. One such reaction pathway is template synthesis, a reaction involving the activation of the pyrazole ligands by zinc coordination and then linking them to an atom or group. This reaction pathway can lead to the formation of metal complexes coordinated to new pyrazole based chelates. For our study, we used the ditopic salt, tris(3-amino-pyrazole)ZnBr2, and performed a series of reactions to determine if template synthesis on this salt is successful. Our future goal is to develop new complexes of zinc and other metals containing hydrogen bonding groups near the metal center in chelates that are linked by B and/or C atoms.
