Catalysts based on s-block elements offer exciting prospects for new reactivity, but their chemistry remain poorly understood. Here, both the catalytic activity of the dimeric magnesium tert-butylperoxide with β-diketiminate ligand as well as its transformation to a tetranuclear magnesium alkylperoxide are shown.
