The new bis(pyrazolyl) amine ligand NH2CH2CH(pz)(2) (1) was prepared from the reaction of N-[2,2bis(pyrazolyl) ethyl]-1,8-naphthalimide with hydrazine monohydrate. A substituted derivative, C6H5CH2NHCH2CH(pz)(2) (2), was prepared by the reaction of 1 with benzaldehyde followed by reduction with NaBH4. Ligand 1 was also converted by two methods to the new bitopic, para-linked bis( pyrazolyl) amine ligand p-C6H4(CH2NHCH2CH(pz)(2))(2), (3). The reactions of the ligands 1-3 with [Cu(PPh3)(2)]NO3 yields (PPh3)Cu[(pz)(2)CHCH2NH2]}NO3, (PPh3)Cu[(pz)(2)CHCH2NHCH2C6H5]}NO3 and [(PPh3)Cu](2)[p((pz)(2)CHCH2NHCH2)(2)C6H4]}(NO3)(2)center dot solvate, respectively. Complex (N-3)(2)Cu[(pz)(2)CHCH2NHCH2C6H5]} was obtained from a methanol solution of 2, copper(II) acetate monohydrate and sodium azide. The complex Cd[(pz)(2)CHCH2NHCH2C6H5](2)}(PF6)(2)center dot 3C(3)H(6)O was synthesized by reaction of the protonated form of ligand 2, [(pz)(2)CHCH2NH2CH2C6H5]PF6, with Cd( acac) 2. In all of the structures the ligands are tridentate, bonding to the metal through the lone pair on the amine group as well as through the pyrazolyl rings they act as true scorpionates. The solid state structures all have extensive non-covalent interactions, with the N-H functional groups of the aminesparticipating in both N-H center dot center dot center dot p and N-H center dot center dot center dot O or N-H center dot center dot center dot N hydrogen bonding interactions.
