Synthesis and structure of the novel mixed anion–dianion lithium cage compound [(6-LiCH2Py-2-OLi)4(6-CH3Py-2-OLi)2 (THF)9]
Abstract
The title compound crystallises as a novel homometallic mixed anion–dianion cage incorporating two four- coordinate diorgano lithiate centres, in addition to eight lithium centres coordinated only by oxygen and nitrogen atoms.
