A magnesium hydride cation [(L)MgH] + supported by a macrocyclic ligand (L = Me 4 TACD; 1,4,7,10-tetramethyl-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane) has been prepared by partial protonolysis of a mixed amide hydride [(L)MgH 2 Mg{N(SiMe 3 ) 2 } 2 ] and shown to undergo a variety of reactions with unsaturated substrates, including pyridine.

Abstract Milling two equivalents of K[1,3‐(SiMe3)2C3H3] (=K[A′]) with MgX2(X=Cl, Br) produces the allyl complex [K2MgA′4] (1). Crystals grown from toluene are of the solvated species [((η6‐tol)K)2MgA′4] ([1⋅2(tol)]), a trimetallic monomer with both bridging and terminal (η1) allyl ligands. When recrystallized from hexanes, the unsolvated1forms a 2D coordination polymer, in which the Mg is surrounded by three allyl ligands. The C−C bond lengths differ by only 0.028 Å, indicating virtually complete electron delocalization. This is an unprecedented coordination mode for an allyl ligand bound to Mg. DFT calculations indicate that in isolation, an η3‐allyl configuration on Mg is energetically preferred over the η1‐ (σ‐bonded) arrangement, but the Mg must be in a low coordination environment for it to be experimentally realized. Methyl methacrylate is effectively polymerized by1, with activities that are comparable to K[A′] and greater than the homometallic magnesium complex [{MgA′2}2].more » « less
