Perfectly polar assembly of molecular dipoles in crystals of Zn(II)(DMAP)(acac) < inf > 2 < /inf > : A case of self-poling

Abstract

Molecular dipoles assemble with a perfectly polar alignment in the crystals of the title complex and the hierarchy of intermolecular interactions in the lattice adheres to the requirements of a previously reported stochastic model for the production of polarity in supramolecular assemblies.
