In the crystal, 5 b displays a crown-shaped ten-membered ring framework. The ester groups are arranged pairwise in a nearly C,-symmetric fashion. For both pairs, the Zr-0 (carbonyl) distances are too large for an interaction (Zr 1-0 5, 3.88; Zr2-03 4.48, Z r l -0 1 5 4.18, Zr2-013 4.00A). Noteworthy are the short bonds of the zirconium atoms to the ring oxygen atoms ( Z r l -0 2 1.952(3), 25-1-012 1.952(8), Zr 2-0 11 1.941 (3), Zr 2-0 1 1.974(6) A) and the substantial-
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
