Teflon-coated magnetic stirrer and two breakable seals
on a vacuum line, and after evacuation, 20 ml of THF
was distilled in. The mixture was stirred at 40 ꢀC until
all metallic magnesium disappeared (after 21 h). The final
dirty green solution was evaporated in vacuum and the
residue was extracted by 20 ml of hexane. The solution
was concentrated to ca. 5 ml and cooled to ꢀ18 ꢀC for sev-
eral days for crystallization. Dark green crystals were sep-
arated, washed with a cooled hexane and dried in vacuum.
