On the structural and electronic properties of [Zn2(4,4'-bipyridine)(mes)4]n- (n=0-2), a homologous series of bimetallic complexes bridged by neutral, anionic, and dianionic 4,4'-bipyridine.
Addition of 1 equiv of potassium metal to a tetrahydrofuran (THF) solution of Zn(2)(4,4'-bipyridine)(mes)(4) (1; mes =2,4,6-Me(3)C(6)H(2)) in the presence of 18-crown-6 (1,4,7,10,13,16-hexaoxacyclooctadecane) yielded the radical anionic species [Zn(2)(4,4'-bipyridine)(mes)(4)](•-), which w...
