An examination of the solution spectroscopy of a series of tetrahedral bis‐bispyrazolylborate complexes of CoIIis presented. This includes a re‐examination of the UV/Vis‐NIR of the three stable derivatives, Bp2Co, Bp3,5Me2Co and (Ph2Bp)2Co, which showed two transitions previously unobserved, one arising from splitting of the near‐infraredd‐dtransition and one arising from a ligand‐based or charge‐transfer mechanism; a reevaluation of Δ and B led to values more in line with similar complexes. Frozen solution EPR of the series of complexes suggests all are under the influence of a non‐negligible, negative zero‐field splitting. This is in contrast to previous powder measurements, which we show observed only a subset of the available transitions, leading to a mis‐assignment of the parent complex's electronic structure. We present a proposal, based on the EPR of this closely related set of complexes, that the59Co hyperfine coupling that is only sometimes observed in the EPR of pseudotetrahedral CoIIat X‐band is in fact indicative of anMS= ± 3/2 ground level (D< 0), with the hyperfine coupling originating in the nominally forbidden ΔMS= 3 transition alongg∥.
