title: Synthesis and structure of a novel supramolecular Zn3Co8 assembly containing a linear Zn3 core.
abstract: Reaction of Zn(OAc)(2).2H2O (OAc = acetate) with LH2 in THF followed by reaction with Co2(CO)8 yields the novel supramolecular assembly Zn3L2(OAc)2[Co2(CO)6](4).0.5CH2Cl2, which was characterized by X-ray diffraction (LH2 = (CH2)3(N=CH-2-OH-5-C identical to CSiMe3C6H3)2 or N,N'-propylenebis(2-hydroxy-5-trimethylsilylethynl-1-aldimine).
