Abstract

The odd couple: A dimeric magnesium(I) complex acts as a facile and selective two‐center/two‐electron reductant towards a series of unsaturated substrates (see scheme; Ar=2,6‐__i__Pr~2~C~6~H~3~, Ad=1‐adamantyl). The novel reduced or reductively coupled products obtained from these reductions suggest that magnesium(I) compounds may find wide use in organic and organometallic syntheses.magnified image

## Abstract In 1916, Lewis and Kossel laid the empirical ground for the electronic theory of valence, whose quantum theoretical foundation was uncovered only slowly. We can now base the classification of the various traditional __chemical__ bond types in a threefold manner on the one‐ and two‐elect
