Abstract: A good fix: the structure and chemical reactivity of a reduced form of CO(2) bonded to magnesium, XMg(η(2)-O(2)C)(-), is reported. Upon reaction with water it loses CO, while it adds CH(3) upon reaction with alkyl halides, thereby signifying nucleophilicity of the carbon atom in XMg(η(2)-O(2)C)(-) in S(N)2 reactions.<br /> (Copyright © 2012 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
