Description
Summary:The title compound, [Zn(C9H11)2] or Mes2Zn (Mes = mesityl = 2,4,6-trimethylphenyl), crystallizes with a quarter of a molecule in the asymmetric unit. The ZnII atom is in a strictly linear environment with a Zn—C bond length of 1.951 (5) Å. Due to the imposed 2/m symmetry, both aromatic rings are coplanar. One of the methyl groups is disordered over two equally occupied positions.
