The sesquimetallated lithium cluster resulting from the reaction of a diprotonic NH/OH acid with n-butyllithium
Abstract
X-Ray analysis reveals that the metallation of carbazol-1-yldiphenylmethanol (H2cdpm) with one equivalent of BunLi in tetrahydrofuran gives a 1 : 1 complex of monolithiated and dilithiated H2cdpm instead of the monolithiated derivative.
