Abstract
Briefly stated, the present invention comprises a composition of matter having the formula M.sub.x L.sub.y P.sub.z.nQ where M is a metal, P is a counterion, x, y, and z are integers, Q is a solvent, n is a numerical value of from 0 to about 12, and L is either a tris or a bis substituted pyrazolyl borate anion having the structural formula: ##STR1##
Claims9
A composition of matter having the M.sub.x L.sub.y P.sub.z.nQ where M is a metal ion selected from the group consisting of Co, Ni, Zn, Mn, Cr, Zr, Ti, Hf, V and Fe;
- L is a fluoroalkyl substituted tris or bis pyrazole borate ion, or mixture thereof;
- P is a counterion;
- x, y and z are integers sufficient to render the composition electronically neutral;
- Q is a solvent;
- and n is a numerical value of from 0 to about 12.
A method for forming a compound of the formula M.sub.x L.sub.y P.sub.z.nQ where M is a metal ion selected from the group consisting of Co, Ni, Zn, Mn, Cr, Zr, Ti, Hf, V and Fe;
- L is a fluoroalkyl substituted tris or bis pyrazole borate ion, or mixture thereof;
- P is a counterion;
- x, y and z are integers sufficient to render the composition electronically neutral;
- Q is a solvent;
- and n is a numerical value of from 0 to 12 comprising:
- combining a solution of an alkali metal salt of L, and a solution of a salt of M and recovering the compound.
