Dimeric in the crystal and trimeric in THF solution —this remarkable phenomenon is shown by ortho ‐phenylenezinc, which can be obtained from the analogous mercury compound and zinc. In solution the equilibrium shown below lies well to the right. The dimer probably crystallizes due to favorable packing effects.
