Molybdenum carbonyl assisted reductive tetramerization of CO by activated magnesium(i) compounds: squarate dianion vs. metallo-ketene formation

Abstract

The reductive tetramerisation of CO by Lewis base activated dimagnesium(i) compounds, in the presence of Mo(CO)6, led to the competitive formation of magnesium squarate and metallo-ketene complexes (see picture).
