“…Thus, isolated monomeric species are formed upon chelation with 1,10-phenanthroline (Klevtsova et al, 2001). In the same way, isolated dimeric units are found in the 1:2 adduct with 4,4′-bipyridyl, in which the latter is bidentate bridging (Klevtsova et al, 2000). As a continuation of previous studies in this area (Tiekink, 2001a,b;Jie & Tiekink, 2002;Dee & Tiekink, 2002), the title compound, (µ-Ph 2 PCH 2 CH 2 PPh 2 ) {Zn(S 2 COiPr) 2 } 2 , (I), has been investigated.…”
