N2 - N,N′-Di(p-tolylformamidine), HDTo1F, reacts with an ether solution of methyl lithium to give Li2(μ-DTo1F)2(Et2O)2 (I), while N,N′-diphenylformamidine, HDPhF, reacts with a THF solution of MeMgCl to give the bioctahedral molecule (DPhF)(THF)Mg(μ-THF)(μ-Cl)2Mg(THF)(DPhF) (II), in which one of the THF molecules is bonded to both Mg atoms. Crystal structures of I, II, as well as the neutral molecule HDTo1F (III) and the salt [H2DTo1F][BF4] (IV) are presented. The neutral molecule shows distinct amine and imine C-N distances, while the ionic species show identical C-N distances.
