Abstract

Demonstrating a new structural type in mixed aggregate chemistry, a 3:1 mixture of Ph2NLi and LiCl with 3 equiv. of N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine exists in toluene and in the solid state as a Ph2NLi/LiCl mixed ‘dimer’ and a (Ph2NLi)2 homodimer linked only by a Li–Cl coordinate bond, as determined by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography.
