A tetranuclear magnesium hydride cluster with a four-coordinate hydride in near square-planar geometry

A tetranuclear magnesium hydride complex based on the β-oxo-δ-diiminate (BODDI) ligand was isolated. In the solid state, the complex features three bridging μ 2 -hydrides and one unprecedented four-coordinate hydride in a nearly square-planar coordination environment. In the solid state, two differe...

Description
Summary:A tetranuclear magnesium hydride complex based on the β-oxo-δ-diiminate (BODDI) ligand was isolated. In the solid state, the complex features three bridging μ 2 -hydrides and one unprecedented four-coordinate hydride in a nearly square-planar coordination environment. In the solid state, two different coordination polymers are observed depending on whether the axial or equatorial oxygen lone pairs of 1,4-dioxane are engaged in bonding to magnesium. A dimeric magnesium hydride cluster has been synthesized. In the solid state it features a hydride ion that is coordinated to four magnesium ions at the same time in an unusual nearly square-planar fashion.
