Although the reaction of magnesium with anthracene in THF to form the orange, sparingly solublemagnesium anthracene was discovered by Ramsden in 1965, 1 the chemistry of magnesium anthracene systems began to develop only in the 1980s, triggered by the applica-tion of magnesium anthracene to generate a catalyst system for the hydrogenation of magnesium under mild conditions. 2 Nowadays, magnesium anthracene com-pounds attract broad interest because of their versatile applications in synthesis and their ability to catalyze reactions of metallic magnesium. Elemental magnesium in the presence of a catalytic amount of anthracene can be hydrogenated to a highly reactive form of magnesium hydride, is an excellent reducing agent for transitionmetal salts, and can be used to prepare Grignard com-pounds under extremely mild conditions. The active MgH2-Mg system, accessible via phase-transfercatalysis of magnesium, can be applied for chemical syntheses and is an outstanding medium for hydrogen and high-temperature heat storage. An account of these topics, emphasizing recent synthetic and catalytic ap-plications, will be given here. 3
