title: Synthesis and characterization of new mono- and heptazinc complexes with unusual amide coordination modes.
abstract: Two novel, a mono- and a heptanuclear, zinc complexes have been prepared and characterized by exploiting the flexibility and chelating and bridging ability of a new carboxylate- and amide-rich dinucleating ligand under different reaction conditions.
