Sj. Coles et al., mer-Bis{2,6-bis[1-(4-tert-butylphenylimino)ethyl]-pyridine}zinc(II) bis[tris(hexafluoroacetylacetonato)zincate(II)] diethyl ether hemisolvate, ACT CRYST E, 57, 2001, pp. M535-M537
Reaction of [Zn(hfac)(2)]. 2H(2)O with L-1, where hfac and L-1 are hexafluo
roacetylacetonate and 2,6-bis[1-(4-tert-butylphenylimino)ethyl]pyridine, re
spectively, results in the formation of [Zn(L-1)(2)][Zn(hfac)(3)](2), i.e.
[Zn(C29H35N3)(2)][Zn(C5HF6O2)(3)](2). -0.5C(4)H(10)O. In the cation, the tw
o L-1 ligands act as merterdentate ligands. Reaction of [Zn(hfac)(2)]. 2H(2
)O with 2,2':6',2 " -terpyridine (terpy) results in the formation of [Zn(te
rpy)(2)](hfac)(2).
