Sodium reduction of [{SiN<sup>Dipp</sup>}Mg] [{SiN<sup>Dipp</sup>} = {CH<sub>2</sub>SiMe<sub>2</sub>N(Dipp)}<sub>2</sub>; Dipp = 2,6-<i>i-</i>Pr<sub>2</sub>C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>3</sub>] provides the Mg(I) species, [{SiN<sup>Dipp</sup>}MgNa]<sub>2</sub>, in which the long Mg-Mg bond (>3.2 Å) is augmented by persistent Na-aryl interactions. Computational assessment indicates that this molecule is best considered to comprise a contiguous tetrametallic core, a viewpoint borne out by its reaction with ...[more]
