A novel dinuclear zirconium (IV) complex derived from [Zr(acac)4] and a pentadentate Schiff base ligand: Synthesis, characterization and catalytic performance in synthesis of indole derivatives

A single-crystal X-ray structure of this compound proves that the complex is a centrosymmetric dinuclear unit in the solid state consisting of two mononuclear zirconium containing ligands that are joined by a μ-oxo bridge.
