Nn. Murthy et Kd. Karlin, A DINUCLEAR ZINC HYDROXIDE COMPLEX WHICH TRAPS ATMOSPHERIC CARBON-DIOXIDE - FORMATION OF A TRI-ZINC COMPLEX WITH A TRIPLY BRIDGING CARBONATE GROUP, Journal of the Chemical Society, Chemical Communications, (15), 1993, pp. 1236-1238
Dinuclear di-mu-hydroxo zinc(II)complex 1, containing a tetradentate n
itrogen ligand, readily absorbs atmospheric CO2 to form tri-zinc compl
ex 2, containing an uncommon triply bridging carbonate group; the stru
ctures of 1 and 2 have been established by X-ray crystallography.
