Solution-stable trinuclear zinc(II) cluster from 4-methyl-2-N-(2-pyridylmethylene)aminophenol (HPyrimol)

The reaction of zinc(II) acetate with 4-methyl-2-N-(2-pyridylmethyl) aminophenol (HPyramol) in methanol leads to a solution stable linear trinuclear zinc cluster with intramolecular ligand oxidation.
