Crystal structure of a dimeric β-diketiminate magnesium complex.

ABSTRACT: The solid-state structure of a dimeric β-diketiminate magnesium(II) complex is discussed. The compound, di-μ-iodido-bis-[(-{4-amino-1,5-bis-[2,6-bis-(propan-2-yl)phen-yl]pent-3-en-2-yl-idene}aza-nido-κ²N,N')magnesium(II)] toluene sesquisolvate, [Mg₂(C₂₉H₄₁N₂)₂I₂]·1.5C₇H₈, crystallizes as two independent mol-ecules, each with 2/m crystallographic site symmetry, located at Wyckoff sites 2c and 2d. These have symmetry-equivalent magnesium atoms bridged by μ-iodide ligands with very similar Mg-I distances. The two Mg atoms are located slightly below (∼0.5 Å) the least-squares plane defined by N-C-C-N atoms in the ligand scaffold, and are approximately tetra-hedr
