Zinc(II) & Cadmium(II) complexes<br />

The symmetric molecule (Fig. 6.26) comprises four octahedral Zn(II) centers,<br />

which are connected through oxygen atoms (Fig. 6.26). This alternate zinc and oxygen<br />

atoms form a boat like structure <strong>of</strong> eight atoms. The angles subtended at Zn(l) and<br />

Zn(3) are ~92.7° and at Zn(2) and Zn(4) are ~90°, while those subtended at oxygen<br />

atoms varies from 133.91(13)° to l36.07(13)°. Yet, the four Zn(H) atoms are<br />

approximately in a plane with a maximum deviation <strong>of</strong> -0.1654(5) A for Zn(3). The<br />

nearby Zn(H)---Zn(II) distances are ~3.96 A {Zn(1)---Zn(2)=3.9700(7) A,<br />

Zn(2)---Zn(3)=3.9496(7) A, Zn(3)---Zn(4)=3.9566(7) A, Zn(4)---Zn(1)=3.9898(7) A}<br />

and Zn(H)---Zn(II)---Zn(II) angles are ~89° {Zn(1)—Zn(4)-Zn(3)=87.91(l)°, Zn(4)­<br />

Zn(3)—Zn(2)=9 1 .57( l )°, Zn( l)—Zn(2)—Zn(3)=88.29( l )°, Zn(2)—Zn( 1)­<br />
