The new ON 2 S 2 ligand bis(iminomethyl)‐2‐6‐bis(mercaptoisobutyl)‐4‐methylphenol (H 3 BMIBIP) has been synthesized from 2,6‐diformyl‐4‐methylphenol and 2‐mercaptoisobutylamine. Its reaction with diethylzinc in the presence of alcohols yields complexes of composition [(BMIBIP)Zn 2 (OR)] (R = CH 3 , C 2 H 5 and CH 2 C 6 H 4 CF 3 ). A structure determination of the trifluoromethylbenzylate compound has shown it to be a tetranuclear complex consisting of two (BMIBIP)Zn 2 units linked by triply bridging alkoxide ligands to form a double norcubane with a Zn 4 O 4 S 2 framework.
