Syntheses and structures of an unsolvated tetrakisimidophosphate {Li3[P(NBut)3(NSiMe3)]}2 and the face-sharing double-cubane {Li2(THF)[P(O)(NBut)2(NHBut)]}2
Abstract
The treatment of Me3SiNP(NHBut)3 with three equivalents of LiBun in
P(NHBut)3 yields the face-sharing double-cubane {Li2(THF)P(O)(NBut)2(NHBut)}2 with a central Li2O2 ring.
