    Abstract

    The reaction of magnesium chloride with two equivalents of sodium phosphaethynolate, NaOCP?(dioxane)2.5 (1), yields a magnesium diphosphaethynolate complex, (THF)4Mg(OCP)2 (3). The formation of compound 3 goes through a monosubstituted chloromagnesium phosphaethynolate Mg(OCP)Cl (2). The structure of 3 was determined via a single crystal X-ray diffraction study. For comparison, we also report the structure of a monomeric sodium phosphaethynolate complex, Na(OCP)(dibenzo-18-crown-6) (4).
