Comparison of Mg–Yb and Mg–Ca bonding: structures, electronic analyses and reactivities

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: A complex featuring an unsupported 2c–2e Mg–Yb bond and formal oxidation states Mg 0 –Yb II was isolated. The properties and very high reactivity of the polarized Mg δ − –Yb δ + bond are compared with those of a related Mg–Ca complex.
