A series of cyano (ligand) cobaloximes have been prepared where, the ligand is pyrazole (Pz), 1-(acetamido)pyrazole (Apz), 1-(N-methylacetamido)pyrazole (MAPz), 1-(acetamido)-3,5-dimethylpyrazole (MADMPz). The complex K[(CN)Co(D₂H₂)SCN] reacts with cthanolic solution of pyrazole or pyrazole amido ligands to form mixed ligand complexes. In all these complexes, the pyrazoles act as monodentate ligands and bind to Co^III through N-2 of pyrazolc ring.
