Multinuclear zinc(II) complexes with {Zn6(μ-O)6(μ3-O)2}- and {Zn5(μ-O)3(μ3-O)3}-cluster cores

Topological insights in polynuclear Ni/Na coordination clusters derived from a schiff base ligand

“…Previously, this ligand has been involved in the synthesis of homometallic [68][69][70][71] and heterometallic CCs [72][73][74][75]. We recently employed this ligand in 3d/4f chemistry to synthesise a family of homogeneous efficient catalysts towards a domino reaction [76].…”

Synthesis, Solid State, Solution and ESI‐MS Studies of Zinc(II) Cluster Complexes with a Branched Mixed Donor Thiolate Ligand

“…Individual ions were characterized under conditions of relatively low signal intensity to minimize deviations between the measured and the expected isotope distributions . Significantly, some multinuclear µ‐OH Zn(II) clusters have readily detected parent ions while others have ESI‐MS spectra dominated by fragments missing the hydroxido ligands …”

A Fluorescent Hexanuclear Zn(II) Complex

“…Functionalized Schiff base ligands with oxygen donor atom containing substituents is one way to construct Zn x O y ‐core which is surrounded by organic part. Recently, Schiff base complexes of Zn(II) have received considerable attention due to their simple synthesizing strategy and wide range of applications including precursors for zinc oxide‐ based inorganic materials, catalyst and fluorescent sensors . The thermolysis of such zinc(II) containing coordination clusters is direct route to obtain ZnO nanoparticles ,.…”

“…Cluster core is made up of two defect cubane units (see SI) connected to each other through two μ 3 ‐O atoms. Each μ‐O bridge originates from phenoxy group of ligand . Over all complex 1 contains six Zn(II) ions out of which two zinc(II) ions are penta‐coordinated and remaining four Zn(II) ions are hexa‐coordinated (Figure ).The Zn−O bond distances range from 1.96 to 2.31Åand Zn−N bond distances are in the range of 2.03 to 2.07 Å.…”
