Oligonuclear zinc complexes of 2-pyridylmethanol

Abstract

The title ligand HL leads to the zinc complexes [(HL)₂Zn(µ-Cl)₂Zn(HL)₂]ZnCl₄ 1 and [Zn(ZnL₂)₆]Cl₂ 2; the ligand arrangement and core structure of 2 make the self-assembly of this complex understandable and show its topological relation to the cadmium iodide structure.
