The crystal structure of [(pmdeta)Li(µ-Cl)Li(pmdeta)][Li{C(SiMe3)3}2][pmdeta = Me2N(CH2)2NMe(CH2)2NMe2]. A novel linear chlorine-centred cation
Abstract
Treatment with pmdeta [pmdeta = Me2N(CH2)2NMe(CH2)2NMe(CH2)2NMe2] in toluene of [Li(thf)4][Li{C(SiMe3)3}2](thf = tetrahydrofuran) containing LiCl has given [(pmdeta)Li(µ-Cl]Li(pmdeta)][Li{C(SiMe3)3}2], in which the chlorine-centred cation is linear.
