[(dpp-bian)ZnZn(dpp-bian)]: A Zinc-Zinc-Bonded Compound Supported by Radical-Anionic Ligands

Radical help: The use of a spin‐labeled ligand allows a zinc–zinc‐bonded compound supported by radical‐anionic ligands to be prepared (see scheme). The radical anion enabled the presence of the ZnZn bond in solution to be confirmed by ESR spectroscopy. DFT calculations confirm the biradical nature...

Summary:Radical help: The use of a spin‐labeled ligand allows a zinc–zinc‐bonded compound supported by radical‐anionic ligands to be prepared (see scheme). The radical anion enabled the presence of the ZnZn bond in solution to be confirmed by ESR spectroscopy. DFT calculations confirm the biradical nature of the compound and indicate that the ZnZn bond is formed mainly by the metal s orbitals.
