Tetra-[mu]3-tert-butoxo-tetrakis[ethylzinc(II)]

S. C. Moratti and J. Simpson

Abstract: In the structure of the title compound, [Zn4(C2H5)4(C4H9O)4], the Zn and O atoms form a distorted cubic arrangement with each Zn atom carrying an ethyl substituent. A tert-butyl group is bound to each of the O atoms. Coordination about the Zn and O atoms is distorted tetrahedral. Three of the four ethyl substituents are disordered over two positions; the site occupany factors are ca 0.56 and 0.44. There are no significant close contacts in the crystal structure.
