Zn4OL6 (L = S2CNEt2, S2PEt2 and OCNEt2) complexes are readily formed by hydrolysis of the mixed alkylzinc-carbamato, thiophophinato or thiocabamato (RZnL) compounds. These oxyzinc complexes all adapt a basic beryllium-acetate-like tetrahedral (μ4-O)Zn4 core. The coordination of each zinc atom is completed by bridging carbamato, thiocarbamato or thiophosphinato groups. Disorder is observed in the zinc positions for the two sulfur-containing compounds, with zinc atoms disordered over the eight corners of a cube. The geometry of the core (μ4-O)Zn4 moiety is compared with ZnO and a number of related complexes.
