32. 2 is particularly characteristic and not overlapped by other absorptions.
33. 2Mg is insoluble in benzene and did not dissolve in benzene solutions of 211C, 221C, or 222C.
34. 2Mg preparations retained some diethyl ether (the solvent used in the preparation of the Grignard reagent); heating under vacuum in an effort to remove all diethyl ether led to decomposition.

36. 2Mg, which is insoluble in benzene, and 221C showed absorptions only of mesitylene and uncoordinated 211C.
37. 2Mg is not very soluble in diethyl ether.
