The 18th hole: Novel 18-membered zinc–nitrogen ring systems are readily accessible from the reaction of Me2NNH2 and R/R′Zn (R=R′=C6F5; R=R′=Ph; R=Et, R′=Cl) and subsequent work-up with acetonitrile. More forcing conditions are required in the case of R=R′=Et. The intriguing solid-state structures have been identified by X-ray crystallography using synchrotron radiation (see scheme), and these new complexes undergo hydrolysis to give acetamide hydrazones.
