Magnesium(I) reduction of benzophenone and anthracene: first structural characterisation of a magnesium ketyl.
The reductions of benzophenone and anthracene with dimeric magnesium(I) complexes lead to thermally stable magnesium ketyl and magnesium anthracene complexes, respectively; both have been structurally characterised.
