A rare binuclear metallocyclic planar 20, 26 and 34 membered zinc-organic rings

A rare discrete binuclear twenty, twenty-six and thirty-four membered zinc-organic metallocyclic compounds were synthesized and structurally characterized. The twenty membered metallocyclic molecule is arranged in a three-dimensional supramolecular network through hydrogen bonding, while the twenty-six membered metallocyclic ring is packed in a well define three dimensional framework. The thirty-four membered metallocyclic ring is closely packed through a weak interaction.
