Sl. Guo et al., Synthesis, molecular structure and radical scavenging effect of octanuclear thiolate zinc complex [NMe4](2)[(c-mu(4)-S)(mu-SCH2Ph)(12)S4Zn8], POLYHEDRON, 18(5), 1999, pp. 735-740
The new cage-like octanuclear thiolate complex [NMe4](2)[(c-mu(4)-S)(mu-SCH
2Ph)(12)S4Zn8] has been prepared and characterized by X-ray crystal structu
re analysis. All eight Zn atoms and a mu(4)-S constitute a tetracapped tetr
ahedron, in which mu(4)-S is at the center of cage. The suppression abiliti
es of the complex for the hydroxyl and TEMP radicals were determined by EPR
and GC, and the results showed that the complex possess more effective sup
pression abilities than natural MT. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All righ
