Notes:
The crystalline oxozirconium methacrylate clusters Zr6(O-H)4O4(OMc)12 and Zr4O2(OMc)12 were obtained by reaction of Zr(OnPr)4 with an excess of methacrylic acid and analysed by X-ray diffraction. The oxide and hydroxide groups are in a μ3- bridging mode in both structures, and the methacrylate ligands are chelating or bridging. The zirconium atoms in Zr6(OH)4O4(OMc)12 form an octahedron the cluster having crystalographic C3v symmetry. Each metal atom is square-antiprismatically coordinated by eight oxygen atoms. In Zr4O2(OMc)12, the zirconium atoms have a distorted butterfly arrangement; their coordination geometry is square-antiprismatically coordinated by eight oxygen atomes. In Zr4O2)OMc)12, the zirconium atoms have a distorted butterfly arrangement; their coordination geometry is square-antiprismatic or capped octahedral.
