Abstract

Phenazine and magnesium in tetrahydrofuran (thf) at ca. 20°C afforded a paramagnetic complex, [Mg(C₁₂H₈N₂) ₂(thf)₃] (1), and in the presence of magnesium bromide diamagnetic [Mg(C₁₂H₈N₂)(thf)₂] (2), then [Mg₂Br₂(C₁₂H₈N ₂)(thf)₆] co-crystallized with [MgBr₂(thf) ₄] (1: 1) (3); single crystal X-ray data revealed the phenazine-containing complex (3) to be monomeric, with two five-co-ordinate magnesium centres each bound to an N-centre 0.48 Å out of the 'phenazine' plane [Mg-N 2.052(7), Mg-Br 2.513(3), and Mg-O 2.066(5)-2.166(5) Å].
