Abstract
Inseparable zinc pair: The reaction of homoleptic {GaCp*}-containing compounds [M(GaCp*)4] (M=Pd, Pt; Cp*=Me5C 5) with [Zn2Cp*2] leads to the formation of [M(GaCp*)2(ZnCp*)2(ZnZnCp*) 2] (see picture: C gray, Ga yellow, Zn green, Pd blue) and [M(ZnCp*)4(ZnZnCp*)4]. Both molecules involve the novel zinc ligand system {ZnZnCp*}, which contains an intact Zn-Zn bond.
