Abstract: Reaction of [Zn(hfac)₂]·2H₂O with L¹, where hfac and L¹ are hexafluoroacetylacetonate and 2,6-bis[1-(4-tert-butylphenylimino)ethyl]pyridine, respectively, results in the formation of [Zn(L¹)₂][Zn(hfac)₃]₂, i.e. [Zn(C₂₉H₃₅N₃)₂][Zn(C₅HF₆O₂)₃]₂·0.5C₄H₁₀O. In the cation, the two L¹ ligands act as mer-terdentate ligands. Reaction of [Zn(hfac)₂]·2H₂O with 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine (terpy) results in the formation of [Zn(terpy)₂](hfac)₂.
