Electrochemical oxidation of zinc in a solution of 1-methylimidazoline
-2-thione (MeImtH) in acetonitrile, gives [Zn4O(MeImt)(6)] whose cryst
al structure has been determined by X-ray diffraction. This compound c
ontains a central oxygen atom tetrahedrally bonded to four zinc atoms,
bridged by six 1-methylimidazoline-2-thionato ligands along the edges
of the tetrahedron. Each zinc atom exhibits tetrahedral coordination.
