Let k be a field of characteristic not equal to 2, and let L be a finite field extension of k. Then a Lie algebra G is quaternionic if there is a quaternion division algebra Q over L such that G is isomorphic to the k- Lie-algebra \(Q^-/L1\). The main theorem of the paper gives equivalent conditions for a finite-dimensional Lie algebra over a perfect field k to be quaternionic.
