Abstract
The monomeric zinc compounds with three-coordinated zinc (dipp)NacNacZnCl (1), (dipp)NacNacZnMe (2), (dipp)NacNacZntBu (3), and (dipp)NacNacZnPh (4) were prepared under mild conditions in strong coordinating donor solvents. Compounds 2-4 have been structurally characterized. The beta -diketoiminate ligand (2-((2,6-diisopropylphenyl)amino)-4-((2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imino)pent-2-ene) ((dipp)NacNac) acts as a chelating ligand through its two N atoms, forming a six-membered ring with the zinc atom.
