Abstract
An infinite chain of hydrogen bonded loops of 8 and 10 water molecules are stabilized by the neutral zinc phosphite cluster [Zn4(HPO3)4(2,2′-bipy)4] · 11H2O. The cluster is prepared either by direct synthesis or by transformation of a (2,2′-bipy)2Zn2(HPO3)2 4-ring.
Graphical abstractThe 4-ring of (bipy)Zn2(HPO3)2 is transformed to a new compound, [Zn4(HPO3)4(2,2′-bipy)4] · 11H2O, that contains a cluster of four zinc atoms, Zn–O–Zn linkages, and stabilizes a chain of hydrogen bonded water molecules in the crystal lattice.Figure optionsDownload full-size imageDownload as PowerPoint slide
