Popis: |
The title compound, [Mg3(C9H16NO)6], represents a trimeric complex with all Mg atoms having octahedral coordination. The central Mg atom occupies a special position on a crystallographic inversion centre and is coordinated by six O atoms [Mg—O = 2.069 (2), 2.083 (2) and 2.072 (2) A], all of which have bridging functions. Each of the peripheral Mg atoms is coordinated by three bridging O atoms [Mg—O = 2.090 (2), 2.086 (2) and 2.095 (2) A] and three terminal N atoms of the butylimino groups [Mg—N = 2.206 (2), 2.202 (2) and 2.196 (2) A]. |
