Graphical Abstract
Zinc links: Solid-state desolvation of the dimeric alkoxide [{tBuZn(μ-OtBu)(thf)}2] leads to a trimer [{tBuZnOtBu}3] with a unique core structure; subsequent grinding affords the tetrameric cubane [{tBuZnOtBu}4]. This approach demonstrates a new direction in the generation of metal alkoxide clusters.
