title = "Synthesis and Structure of Tetrahedral [Zn(maltol)2Cl2], Exhibiting Monodentate Coordination of Neutral Maltol",
abstract = "Recrystallization of [Zn(malt)2(H2O)1.5] (malt = maltolato(-1), C6H5O3) from a concentrated aqueous solution acidified with HCl to pH 3.0 yielded colorless crystals of [Zn(Hmalt)2Cl2] (Hmalt = neutral maltol, C6H6O3). The Zn(II) site exhibits distorted tetrahedral coordination through bonding to two chloride ligands and to two neutral maltol ligands, each bonding through the ketonic oxygen. [Zn(Hmalt)2Cl2] is a unique example of a neutral monodentate coordination by the maltol ligand. Graphical Abstract: A view of the tetrahedral [Zn(Hmalt)2Cl2] (Hmalt = neutral maltol, C6H6O3).[Figure not available: see fulltext.]",
