Magnesium anthracene is an organomagnesium compound that is almost invariably isolated as its adduct with three tetrahydrofuran (thf) ligands. With the formula Mg(C₁₄H₁₀)(thf)₃, this air- and water-sensitive orange solid is obtained by heating a suspension of magnesium in a thf solution of anthracene.[1]

Structure and reactivity

According to X-ray crystallography, the Mg center is 5-coordinate, occupying a C₂O₃ ligand sphere. The fold angle between the two benzo groups is 72.6°.[2]

The compound behaves as a source of the carbanion [C₁₄H₁₀]^2- as well as a source of highly reactive Mg. With electrophiles, the compound reacts to give dihydroanthracene derivatives C₁₄H₁₀E₂. Electrophiles include ketones, CO₂, organotin chlorides, and organoaluminium chlorides. Ethylene inserts into one Mg-C bond. Hydrogen induces release of anthracene, yielding magnesium hydride (MgH₂).[1]

gollark: This server was split off from it in the wake of this due to people retroactively interpreting palaiologistic behavior as showing that they are not interested in listening to their community.

gollark: Approximate and heavily biased summary: palaiologos suddenly demanded that all (future?) events not require specifically Python after being annoyed by HelloBoi's event somehow and apparently past ones, and ubq shut down the code guessing event and left.

gollark: Weren't you one of the primary supporters, even?

gollark: Didn't you vote for lyric demotion?

gollark: I like how the artificial intelligences are above all other users.
