Our group has been investigating the synthesis and chemistry of pyrazoles with cyano substituents at the 4-position, scorpionate (polypyrazolylborate) ligands derived from these pyrazoles, and metal complexes of both  the pyrazoles and scorpionates. These ligands incorporate the strongly electron-withdrawing cyano group and have the ability to mediate the formation of polymeric species through coordination at both the pyrazole and cyano N atoms. Recent developments in this chemistry will be presented.<br/>
