Slow atmospheric oxidation of diphenylzinc: di-μ-phenoxido-bis[(diethyl ether)phenylzinc(II)]
摘要:
The title compound, [Zn-2(C6H5)(2)(C6H5O)(2)(C4H10O)(2)], was isolated from a solution of diphenylzinc in diethyl ether that had been exposed to air. The molecules are dinuclear, with a distorted tetrahedral coordination geometry around the Zn atoms and with molecules situated about a crystallographic inversion centre. Molecules associate via three sets of C H center dot center dot center dot pi(arene) interactions, leading to a network structure.
