Radical help : The use of a spin‐labeled ligand allows a zinc–zinc‐bonded compound supported by radical‐anionic ligands to be prepared (see scheme). The radical anion enabled the presence of the ZnZn bond in solution to be confirmed by ESR spectroscopy. DFT calculations confirm the biradical nature of the compound and indicate that the ZnZn bond is formed mainly by the metal s orbitals.
