[Zn2(thf)2(EtZn)6Zn4(μ4-O)(tBuPO3)8]: A Dodecanuclear Zincophosphonate Aggregate with a Zn4(μ4-O) Core

Abstract

The largest multinuclear zinc framework synthesized is in the title compound (see picture), which contains structural features closely related to the motifs found in layered and three-dimensional zincophosphates and zincophosphonates. The reactive centers make this zincophosphonate a viable precursor for the synthesis of porous zincophosphonate materials.
