title: Hunting for the magnesium(I) species: formation, structure, and reactivity of some donor-free Grignard compounds.
abstract: Magnesium bromide radicals have to be prepared as high-temperature molecules and trapped as a metastable solution because a seemingly simple reduction of donor-free Grignard compounds failed. However, the essential role of magnesium(I) species during the formation of Grignard compounds could be demonstrated experimentally.
