Synthesis of Potassium−Magnesium Ate Complexes with a Bulky Diamido Ligand

Abstract

Two mixed potassium−magnesium complexes (magnesiates) with novel structural conformations were prepared by the reduction of a neutral magnesium ([(μ-Mg){η2:η1-Me2Si(NDipp)2}]2) complex bearing bulky diamido ligands with metallic potassium.
