Coordinative flexibility in hydrotris(methimazolyl)borate divalent metal compounds.
Three divalent closed d shell metal complexes of the hydrotris(methimazolyl)borate ligand, [Ca(mt)2].6H2O, [Ba(mt)2](H2O)2, and Hg4(mt)4Cl4, were synthesized and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction; the three structures reveal very different ligand binding modes for each metal ion.
