A dinuclar magnesium(II) complex, [Mg2(sym-hcp)2](BPh4)2·2acetone·2H2O, was synthesized with a dinucleating ligand, 4-chloro-2,6-bis[(2-hydroxyethyl)methylaminomethyl]phenolate [(sym-hcp)−], and characterized by a single-crystal X-ray method. The compound crystallized in the monoclinic space group C2/c and Z = 4 with cell parameters a = 22.7667(13)Å, b = 19.1628(11)Å, c = 17.3218(10)Å, β = 96.1500(10)°, V = 7513.6(7)Å3. The R1 [I > 2σ(I)] and wR2 (all data) values were 0.0418 and 0.1023, respectively, for all 8618 independent reflections. The analysis revealed a bis-μ-phenolato-dimagnesium(II) core structure containing two distorted octahedral magnesium(II) ions.
