Abstract
The synthesis and characterization of the radical anion complex (2,3;11,12-dibenzo-1,4,7,10,13,16-hexaoxacyclooctadeca-2,11-diene-κ6O)(phenazine-κN)potassium(I) (μ-phenazine-κ2N:N')bis{bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)amido]zinc(II)}, [K(C12H8N2)(C20H24O6)][Zn2(C12H8N2)(C6H16NSi2)4], is reported. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SC-XRD) depicted phenazine bond metrics consistent with the reduction of the zinc-bound phenazine. The electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectrum is modeled as a two-component fit including a potassium-bound phenazine radical component and a dizinc-bound phenazine component. The extended structure of the complex displays alternating two-dimensional layers of potassium phenazine coordination polymers and phenazine-bridged bimetallic zinc complexes.
期刊介绍:
Acta Crystallographica Section C: Structural Chemistry is continuing its transition to a journal that publishes exciting science with structural content, in particular, important results relating to the chemical sciences. Section C is the journal of choice for the rapid publication of articles that highlight interesting research facilitated by the determination, calculation or analysis of structures of any type, other than macromolecular structures. Articles that emphasize the science and the outcomes that were enabled by the study are particularly welcomed. Authors are encouraged to include mainstream science in their papers, thereby producing manuscripts that are substantial scientific well-rounded contributions that appeal to a broad community of readers and increase the profile of the authors.
