Molecular magnesium hydrides supported by an anionic triazacyclononane-type ligand†
Abstract
Molecular magnesium hydride with a terminal metal–hydrogen bond [Mg(iPr2TACN·AliBu3)H]2 supported by a monoanionic TACN-type ligand (TACN = 1,4-di-isopropyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononane) rearranges to form the dinuclear magnesium hydride [Mg(iPr2TACN·AlHiBu2)(μ-H)]2, exhibiting a rare Mg⋯H–Al interaction.
