Structural and EPR characterisation of single electron and alkyl transfer products from reaction of dimethyl magnesium with bulky α-diimine ligands

Abstract

Treatment of dimethylmagnesium with bulky α-diimine ligands provides either the biradical methyl-bridged complexes [(α-diimine˙)Mg+(μ-CH3)]2via single electron transfer (SET), or the product of methyl transfer to an imine carbon atom depending upon conditions.
