Abstract

The first examples of magnesium benzenehexolate complexes are prepared by reductive hexamerizations of CO, in reactions that are initiated (or catalyzed) by [Mo(CO)₆]. These reactions are closely related to Justus von Liebig’s classical 1834 study on the reduction of CO gas with molten potassium, which yields K₆C₆O₆ (amongst other products), by an as yet unknown mechanism.
