1. Bis- and tris-(pyrazolyl)hydroborato ligands are represented by the abbreviations [BpRR'J and [TpRR'], with the 3- and 5-alkyl substituents listed respectively as superscripts. A substituent (X) on boron other than hydrogen is listed as a prefix, i.e. [XBpRR'] and [XTpRR']. By analogy, we use the abbreviations [BmR] and [TmR] to represent the bis(2-mercapto-l-alkylimidazolyl)borate and tris(2-mercapto-lalkylimidazolyl)borate ligands, respectively.

31. Thallium exists as two naturally occurring spin 1/2 isotopes: 203T1 (29.5%, y = 1.554 x 10 rad TM s'1) and 205TI (70.5%, / = 1.569 x 10" rad T' s"1). Due to the similarity of their gyromagnetic ratios, the difference in 203T1 and 205T1 coupling constants is generally not discernible [7(205T1-X)= 1.0097C/2°JT1-X)].

34. For further comparison, VTK; and VT1_H coupling constants for other Me2TlX derivatives (e.g. X = Cl, I, NO, OPh, C1O4, acac) are in the range 2475-2971 Hz and 336-471 Hz, respectively, in a variety of solvents.

36. Alternatively, the NMR spectroscopic exchange data is in accord with a simple inversion process if the chemical shift of the thallium methyl protons depend only on whether the methyl group is located axially or equatorially and is independent of whether the boron pyrazolyl group occupies an axial or equatorial position.
