{Zn-3(Et2O)(2)[(EtO)PO2(C6H5NH)](6)center dot 2THF}: A trinuclear zinc amidophosphate with an hourglass structure
The reaction of ZnMe2 and the N-substituted phosphoramidic monoester [Et2NH2][(EtO)PO2(C6H5NH)] produces the trinuclear zinc cluster Zn-3(Et2O)(2)[(EtO)PO2(C6H5NH)](6)center dot 2THF, demonstrating that the P-N bond can survive under mild solvothermal reaction conditions.
