An intramolecular H₃O₂ bridge as the resting form of an active metal-bound hydroxide in a dinuclear zinc(II) complex

Abstract

An intramolecular Zn–O₂H₃–Zn bridge as a complexed form of metal-bound hydroxide exhibits enhanced reactivity compared to the related Zn–OH–Zn unit, illustrated by the reaction with CO₂.
