Di-μ-bromido-bis-[(diethyl ether-κO)(2,4,6-tri-methyl-phen-yl)magnesium]: the mesityl Grignard reagent.

ABSTRACT: The crystal structure of the title compound, [Mg2Br2(C9H11)2(C4H10O)2], features a centrosymmetric two-centre magnesium complex with half a mol-ecule in the asymmetric unit. The Mg atom is in a considerably distorted Br2CO coordination. Bond lengths and angles are comparable with already published values. The crystal packing is stabilized by C-H⋯π inter-actions linking the complexes into sheets parallel to (0-11).
