title: Vibrational spectra of bis(maltolato)zinc(II), an interesting insulin mimetic agent.
abstract: The FTIR and FT-Raman spectra of the zinc(II) complex of 3-hydroxy-2-methyl-4-pyrone (maltol), bis(maltolato)zinc(II), were recorded and briefly discussed by comparison with the spectra of uncoordinated maltol and with some related maltolato complexes.
