The bulk of a recently reported superbulky β-diketiminate ligand was further increased by introducing tBu substituents in the ligand backbone. Attempts to isolate free Mg radicals with this extremely bulky ligand failed. Instead, a dinuclear Mg(i) complex with one chelating and one monodentate β-diketiminate ligand was isolated. Asymmetry in metal coordination results in a polarized Mg-Mg bond.
通过在配体主链中引入叔丁基取代基,最近报道的超大位阻β-二酮亚胺配体的体积进一步增大。用这种极大位阻的配体分离游离镁自由基的尝试失败了。相反,分离得到了一种双核Mg(i)配合物,其中一个β-二酮亚胺配体为螯合配体,另一个为单齿配体。金属配位的不对称性导致了Mg-Mg键的极化。
