Abstract
Abstract β-diketiminate coordinated magnesium(I) compounds, [{(ArNacnac)Mg}2] (ArNacnac = [(ArNCMe)2CH]– (Ar = 2,6-diisopropylphenyl (Dip) or mesityl (Mes)), have been utilized as reducing agents in reactions with the redox active 1,4-diazabutadiene, (ButNCH)2 (ButDAB), and 2,2’-bipyrine (bipy). These reactions led to one-electron reductions of the unsaturated substrate, and formation of the highly colored radical complexes, [(ArNacnac) Mg(ButDAB•)] and [(MesNacnac)Mg(bipy•)(bipy)]. The X-ray crystal structures of the compounds reveal each to possess one singly reduced ButDAB or bipy ligand.
期刊介绍:
This journal is committed to the publication of short communications, original research, and review articles within the field of main group metal and semi-metal chemistry, Main Group Metal Chemistry is an open-access, peer-reviewed journal that publishes in ongoing way. Papers addressing the theoretical, spectroscopic, mechanistic and synthetic aspects of inorganic, coordination and organometallic main group metal and semi-metal compounds, including zinc, cadmium and mercury are welcome. The journal also publishes studies relating to environmental aspects of these metals, their toxicology, release pathways and fate. Articles on the applications of main group metal chemistry, including in the fields of polymer chemistry, agriculture, electronics and catalysis, are also accepted.
