Figure 2
A view of the coordination pattern around the ZnII cations of (I) , showing the `construction pillars' along the a axis of the crystal structure. H atoms have been omitted and only the carboxylate residues of the organic ligand are shown for clarity. The DMF species are represented by their O atoms only. Note the square-pyramidal five-coordinate environment around atom Zn1 and the octahedral six-coordinate shell around atom Zn2. An inversion centre at ( , , 0) is indicated by a black dot. |
