Abstract

A new magnesium alkoxide which posses centrosymmetric tetranuclear structure derived from 1-methoxy-2-propanol, a functionalized alcohol containing asymmetric carbon. X-ray analysis of single crystal shows an open dicubane-like structure with triple-bridging alkoxo groups between alternating five- and six-coordinated magnesium atoms. There are six alkoxo bridging groups in which two of them bridge three metal centers and the other four bridge two. All of the etheric-oxygens are coordinated to magnesium and provide a rigid structure. Two chlorine atoms are bonded to five-coordinated magnesium. This compound crystallizes in the monoclinic system with a = 10.040(6) Ǻ, b = 14.004(9) Ǻ, c = 15.344(5) Ǻ, β = 95.55(9)˚, Z = 2 and V = 2147 Ǻ3 in the space group of P21/n.
