Abstract β-diketiminate coordinated magnesium(I) compounds, [{(ArNacnac)Mg}2] (ArNacnac = [(ArNCMe)2CH]– (Ar = 2,6-diisopropylphenyl (Dip) or mesityl (Mes)), have been utilized as reducing agents in reactions with the redox active 1,4-diazabutadiene, (ButNCH)2 (ButDAB), and 2,2’-bipyrine (bipy). These reactions led to one-electron reductions of the unsaturated substrate, and formation of the highly colored radical complexes, [(ArNacnac) Mg(ButDAB•)] and [(MesNacnac)Mg(bipy•)(bipy)]. The X-ray crystal structures of the compounds reveal each to possess one singly reduced ButDAB or bipy ligand.

摘要 β-二酮亚胺配位镁 (I) 化合物 [{(ArNacnac)Mg}2] (ArNacnac = [(ArNCMe)2CH]– (Ar = 2,6-二异丙基苯基 (Dip) 或 mesityl (Mes))在与氧化还原活性物质 1,4-二氮杂丁二烯、(ButNCH)2 (ButDAB) 和 2,2'-bipyrine (bipy) 的反应中用作还原剂。这些反应导致不饱和底物的单电子还原，并形成[(ArNacnac) Mg(ButDAB•)] 和 [(MesNacnac)Mg(bipy•)(bipy)] 的高度着色自由基配合物。化合物的 X 射线晶体结构显示每个化合物都具有一个单独还原的 ButDAB 或双配体。
