Unsystematische Zinkchemie: zufällige Bildung und Struktur von Zn6(SC6F5)10(BPPAE)2

Non‐systematic Zinc Chemistry: Accidental Formation and Structure of Zn₆(SC₆F₅)₁₀(BPPAE)₂ The reaction between pyridine‐2‐carbaldehyde and ammonia‐contaminated zinc‐bis(pentafluorothiophenolate) yielded, beside the expected 1 : 1 adduct, small amounts of the hexanuclear cluster Zn₆(SC₆F₅)₁₀(BPPAE)₂. Its ligand BPPAE (1,2‐bis‐pyridine‐2‐yl‐2(pyridine‐2‐ylmethylene)‐amino]‐ethenolate) results from condensation of three molecules of pyridine‐2‐carbaldehyde with one molecule of ammonia. The Zn₆ cluster consists of two centrosymmetrically arranged Zn₃ units which contain three differently coordinated zinc ions in ZnS₄, ZnS₂ON and ZnSON₃ environments.
