Molecular Magnesium(I) Compounds: From Curiosity to Kudos

Abstract: Two for one: Molecular magnesium(I) compounds (see structure: Mg light blue, N dark blue, C gray) with astonishing stability are now accessible in good yields. Decomposition reactions are observed at 170 °C and 300 °C, depending on the ligand present.

“…
Recently, compounds containing metal-metal bonds between main-group elements have attracted interest to a surprising extent. [1][2][3][4][5] In spite of the latest structural results for two crystalline Mg 2 R 2 compounds (R1 = [ArNC(NiPr 2 )NAr] À ; R2 = [{ArNCMe} 2 CH] À ; Ar= 2,6-diisopropylphenyl, iPr = isopropyl) [2] and in spite of a number of theoretical contributions on molecules with MgÀMg bonds, [10][11][12] several important questions still remain to be answered, for example, concerning the unexpected disproportionation stability of the abovementioned Mg I compounds. Herein, we present the following results: 1) On the basis of quantum-chemical-assisted thermodynamic calculations, a feasible synthesis of radical monomeric Mg I halides at temperatures near 900 8C is presented.2) The nature of the MgÀMg bond is investigated by spectroscopic examination of MgCl and its linear dimer Mg 2 Cl 2 in solid inert-gas matrixes; the MgÀMg dissociation energy is obtained.

Verbindungen mit Metall-Metall-Bindungen der Hauptgruppenelemente haben in jüngster Zeit eine unerwartet hohe Aufmerksamkeit erfahren. [1][2][3][4][5] Trotz der jüngsten strukturellen Befunde zu zwei kristallinen Mg 2 R 2 -Verbindungen (R1 = [ArNC(NiPr 2 )NAr] À ; R2= [{ArNCMe} 2 CH] À ; Ar= 2,6-Diisopropylphenyl, iPr = Isopropyl) [2] und trotz zahlreicher theoretischer Studien zu Molekülem mit Mg-Mg-Bindungen [10][11][12] bleiben noch entscheidende Fragen offen, z. B. zur unerwarteten Disproportionierungsstabilität der beiden oben genannten Mg I -Verbindungen.

[18] Hierzu wurde MgF 2 bei 1250 8C verdampft, die gasförmigen MgF 2 -Moleküle bei 2350 8C zu MgF und F-Atomen dissozi-iert und anschließend in der Matrix abgeschieden.…”

“…12 Thermally stable lower valent magnesium(I) dimers [L-Mg-Mg-L] could also be designed and synthesized with the aid of bulky anionic ligands. [13][14][15] The reactivity assessments of these magnesium(II) hydride and magnesium(I) dimer complexes have led to the discovery of unprecedented magnesiation processes of non-polar unsaturated carbon systems such as alkenes, alkynes and arenes, which could be applied in chemical synthesis and catalysis mainly via downstream functionalization of the resulting organomagnesium intermediates with various electrophiles. On the other hand, in situ generation of active magnesium hydride species could be mediated by s-bond metathesis of hydrosilanes or pinacolborane with organomagnesium complexes or counter ion metathesis between sodium hydride (NaH) 16 and magnesium iodide (MgI 2 ) without the use of ligands, facilitating unique molecular transformations of non-polar unsaturated compounds.…”
