The metal influence on the structural chemistry of alkynes: synthetic, spectroscopic and structural studies on magnesium acetylides

A family of magnesium acetylides was prepared by treating Bu 2 Mg with two equivalents of various alkyne ligands in the presence of different donors. The resulting complexes were examined for the influence of ligand and donors on the spectroscopic and structural properties of the target compounds. T...

Summary:A family of magnesium acetylides was prepared by treating Bu 2 Mg with two equivalents of various alkyne ligands in the presence of different donors. The resulting complexes were examined for the influence of ligand and donors on the spectroscopic and structural properties of the target compounds. The magnesium complexes are compared to the heavier alkaline earth metal analogs. †Dedicated to Peter A. Williams and his contributions to the Journal of Coordination Chemistry.
