N. Lalioti et al., RARE M7O2 DOUBLE TETRAHEDRAL CORE IN MOLECULAR-SPECIES - PREPARATION,STRUCTURE AND PROPERTIES OF [ZN7O2(O2CME)(10)(1-MEIN)(2)] (1-MEIM = 1-METHYLIMIDAZOLE), Chemical communications, (15), 1998, pp. 1513-1514
The 2:1 reaction between Zn(O2CMe)(2). 2H(2)O and 1-Meim in refluxing
MeCN gives [Zn7O2(O2CMe)(10)(1-Meim)(2)] 1 which comprises two vertex-
sharing tetranuclear Zn-4(mu(4)-O)(eta(1): eta(1) :mu(2)-O2CMe)(5)(1-M
eim) units; solid-state C-13 and N-15 NMR spectra reveal structural de
tails of the complex.
