Abstract
Zinc benzoates may provide an element of tunability that is not available to their ubiquitous acetate analogues. Unfortunately, the synthesis, speciation, and coordination chemistry of zinc benzoates are less developed than the acetates. In this study, we systematically investigate zinc benzoates to understand their propensity to favor solvate (Zn(O2CAr)2(L)2) or cluster (Zn4O(O2CAr)6) formation as well as their utility as metal complex precursors. The zinc benzoates were found to be Lewis acid catalysts comparable to their acetate counterparts for the formation of oxazolines from esters and amino alcohols.
期刊介绍：
Organometallics is the flagship journal of organometallic chemistry and records progress in one of the most active fields of science, bridging organic and inorganic chemistry. The journal publishes Articles, Communications, Reviews, and Tutorials (instructional overviews) that depict research on the synthesis, structure, bonding, chemical reactivity, and reaction mechanisms for a variety of applications, including catalyst design and catalytic processes; main-group, transition-metal, and lanthanide and actinide metal chemistry; synthetic aspects of polymer science and materials science; and bioorganometallic chemistry.
