Very pure Mg dissolves in liquid NH 3 with a blue color. Attempts to isolate solid Mg(NH 3 ) x were not met with success. MgHg alloy reacts with liquid NH 3 with formation of Mg(NH 3 ) 6 Hg 22, as established by a single-crystal structure determination. The octahedral Mg(NH 3 ) 6 units have Mg−N distances typical for Mg(NH 3 ) 6 2+ . They are embedded in layers into cavities of the mercury metal matrix, resulting in a layered structure. T c of this superconducting material is 3.6 K, which is lower than that of pure Hg (4.19 K).
