A hexagonal prism , in which the two parallel six‐membered rings of alternating Mg and N atoms are almost planar, forms the molecular framework of the title compound (Ph and THF substituents are represented by ipso ‐C and O atoms, respectively, in the picture shown on the right). This compound, which can be readily synthesized from Et 2 Mg and H 2 NPh in ether, is the first well‐characterized magnesium imide.
