“…Hampden-Smith and co-workers prepared a compound of stoichiometry [Zn(SEt)Et] 10 by the insertion of sulfur into the Zn-C bond of dimethylzinc. 35 Although this decameric thiolate possesses a similar arrangement of zinc and sulfur atoms to that found in wurtzite, pyrolysis of the material at 250 C leads to predominantly cubic ZnS; aerosolassisted CVD does, however, lead to the hexagonal form. 35…”

“…Finally, a wurtzite-like structure has been found for the decamer [EtZn(SEt)] 10 . 159 The pentamer [MeZn(S-t-Bu)] 5 readily reacts with nitrogenous bases like pyridine and 1,3,5-trimethylhexahydro-1,3,5-triazine to form stable adducts of the dimeric species, 164 which, in contrast to the parent oligomers, present a good solubility in organic solvents. A selection of average bond lengths in organozinc compounds containing a zinc -sulfur bond can be found in Table 10.…”

Since the discovery of the first organozinc compounds by Sir Edward Frankland in 1849, the organometallic chemistry of zinc made remarkable advances and organozinc species have become essential tools for organic chemists. During the past decade, numerous new and modified procedures for the preparation of the title compounds have been published, rendering their synthesis easier, faster, and less expensive and giving higher yields. The coordination chemistry of organozinc derivatives has been subject of further interest and various intra‐ and intermolecular complexes with different donor ligands have been structurally characterized by X‐ray crystallography and spectroscopic methods. The accumulation of molecular structures, physicochemical studies, and computational calculations has led to a better understanding of the organozinc chemistry, and consequently to the design of new derivatives for specific applications. Even if the development of areas like the chemistry of organozinc anions and cations is still in its early stage, these compounds, which exhibit properties different than those of the parent organometallic species, appear to have promising applications in synthesis and catalytic reactions. During the past ten years, the chemistry of organo‐ gem ‐dizincio derivatives has also been the subject of much interest and progress. These reagents can form two carbon–carbon bonds in a one‐pot reaction and with high stereoselectivity. They became key reagents for organic chemists who want to combine multiple transformations in one operation. The importance of organometallic compounds of zinc can be seen in the growing number of their applications in synthesis. They are used in many reactions such as substitutions, additions to carbonyl compounds and unsaturated systems, cyclopropanations, and polymerizations. Furthermore, as a result of their low reactivity, they tolerate a wide variety of functionalities and perform most of the transformations with high regio‐ and enantioselectivity. After spending more than half a century in the shade of Grignard and organolithium reagents, organozinc reagents are becoming more and more important in modern chemistry.
