A Computational Study of Metallacycles Formed by Pyrazolate Ligands and the Coinage Metals M = Cu(I), Ag(I) and Au(I): (pzM)<i><sub>n</sub></i> for <i>n</i> = 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. Comparison with Structures Reported in the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Center (CCDC)

The structures reported in the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) for neutral metallacycles formed by coinage metals in their valence (I) (cations) and pyrazolate anions were examined. Depending on the metal, dimers and trimers are the most common but some larger rings have also been reported, alth...
