Magnesium-magnesium bond stabilized by a doubly reduced alpha-diimine: synthesis and structure of [K(THF)3]2[LMg-MgL] (L = [(2,6-(i)Pr2C6H3)NC(Me)]2(2-)).
A new Mg-Mg-bonded compound stabilized by a doubly reduced alpha-diimine ligand, [K(THF)(3)](2)[LMg-MgL] (L = [(2,6-(i)Pr(2)C(6)H(3))NC(Me)](2)(2-)), has been synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and density functional theory analysis. The Mg-Mg bond length is 2.9370(18) A.
