Herein, we report the synthesis of highly reduced bipyridyl magnesium complexes and the first example of a stable organic magnesium electride supported by quantum mechanical computations and X-ray diffraction. These complexes serve as unconventional homogeneous reductants due to their high solubility, modular redox potentials, and formation of insoluble, non-coordinating byproducts. The applicability of these reductants is showcased by accessing low-valent (bipy)Ni(0) species that are challenging to access otherwise.
在此,我们报告了高度还原的联吡啶镁配合物的合成,以及通过量子力学计算和X射线衍射支持的稳定有机镁电子化物的首个实例。这些配合物由于其高溶解性、模块化氧化还原电位以及形成不溶性、非配位副产物,可作为非常规的均相还原剂。通过获得低价态(联吡啶)Ni(0)物种展示了这些还原剂的适用性,否则很难获得这些物种。
