Magnesium(0) Complexes and their Reduction Reactions with Binary Transition Metal Carbonyls

Key Points

• This research aims to synthesize bulky β-diketimine ligands and investigate their application in magnesium complexes and reduction reactions.
• Synthesis of three bulky β-diketimine protio-ligands using specific aryl groups.
• Preparation of monomeric, three-coordinate magnesium complexes with these ligands.
• Evaluation of reduction reactions with binary transition metal carbonyls.
• Novel magnesium complexes were successfully synthesized from the β-diketimine ligands.
• These complexes demonstrated unique reactivity patterns with transition metal carbonyls.
