1H NMR shifts were measured for ten organic compounds L in solutions containing paramagnetic bis[hydrotris(l-pyrazolyl)borato]cobalt(II), Co(HBpz3)2. The observed paramagnetic shifts were accounted for by pseudo-contact interactions in the outer-sphere adducts of Co(HBpz3)2 · L. From the concentration dependence of the induced shifts, the thermodynamic parameters of the outer-sphere complexation were determined. It is shown that a simple electrostatic model of Co(HBpz3)2 solvation is not consistent with the experimental results. Comparison of the data for pyrazolylborate and β-diketonate transition metal complexes showed that the specificity of the outer-sphere solvation depends to a large extent on the nature of the first coordination sphere ligands. Co(HBpz3)2 induces anomalous shifts of the signals of NMR standards. It is necessary to assume a specific interaction between the standards and Co(HBpz3)2.
