Synthesis and structure of Zn74-O)2(OAc)10(Pz)2 (OAc = acetate; Pz = pyrazine)

Abstract

Reaction of Zn(OAc)2·2H2O with pyrazine in refluxing ethanol gives the unusual heptanuclear complex Zn74-O)2(OAc)10(Pz)2 (1) (OAc = acetate, Pz = pyrazine) in 46% yield. A single-crystal X-ray diffraction study of 1 revealed a central Zn7 core in which two pseudo-tetrahedral Zn4 units are joined at a common vertex. The two pyrazine molecules are bound as terminal (η1) ligands.
