Abstract
We prove that any contact metric -space admits a canonical paracontact metric structure which is compatible with the contact form . We study such canonical paracontact structure, proving that it verifies a nullity condition and induces on the underlying contact manifold a sequence of compatible contact and paracontact metric structures verifying nullity conditions. The behavior of that sequence, related to the Boeckx invariant and to the bi-Legendrian structure of , is then studied. Finally we are able to define a canonical Sasakian structure on any contact metric -space whose Boexkx invariant satisfies .
