Bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)zinc(II)

S. Krieck, H. Görls and M. Westerhausen

Abstract: The title compound, [Zn(C₉H₁₁)₂] or Mes₂Zn (Mes = mesityl = 2,4,6-trimethylphenyl), crystallizes with a quarter of a molecule in the asymmetric unit. The Zn^II atom is in a strictly linear environment with a Zn-C bond length of 1.951 (5) Å. Due to the imposed 2/m symmetry, both aromatic rings are coplanar. One of the methyl groups is disordered over two equally occupied positions.
