Abstract

We present the synthesis, structural characterization, and reactivity studies of a tetra-zinc complex supported by the bisphenoxymethanone ligands and its transformation into various di-zinc architectures. Our findings highlight the potential of these complexes in molecular recognition, supramolecular chemistry, and catalysis.

Keywords: Di-zinc moiety; Hydroxybenzophenone; Ring-opening polymerization of ϵ-caprolactone; Self-assembly; Supramolecules.
