The monomeric aluminum-magnesium bridged complex Me(2)Al[mu-N(Pr-i)(2)]Mg-2(BHT), (BHT = 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenoxide) with a three-coordinate magnesium atom was prepared. Crystal data : space group P2(1)/n; a = 13.807(5), b = 15.636(4), and c = 14.905(3) Angstrom, beta = 95.03(3)degrees, V = 3205(2) Angstrom(3); D-calc = 1.038 g/cm(3), Z = 4, and R = 0.056. Fenske-Hall molecular orbital calculations are used to explain the bonding situation.
