Low-Coordinate Magnesium Sulfide and Selenide Complexes.

ABSTRACT: The reactions of [{(^iPrDipNacNac)Mg}₂] 1 (^iPrDipnacnac = HC(iPrCNDip)₂) with Ph₃P═O at 100 °C afforded the phosphinate complex [(^iPrDipNacNac)Mg(OPPh₃)(OPPh₂)] 3. Reactions of 1 with Ph₃P═E (E = S, Se) proceeded rapidly at room temperature to low-coordinate chalcogenide complexes [{(^iPrDipNacNac)Mg}₂(μ-S)] 4 and [{(^iPrDipNacNac)Mg}₂(μ-Se)] 5, respectively. Similarly, reactions of ^RNHC═S ((MeCNR)₂C═S with R = Me, Et, or iPr) with 1 afforded NHC adducts of magnesium sulfide complexes, [{(^iPrDipNacNac)Mg(^RNHC)}(μ-S){Mg(^iPrDipNacNac)}] 6, that
