In the title compound, [Li(C(8)H(16)O(4))(CD(3)CN)]ClO(4), the Li atom is penta-coordinate. The O atoms of the 12-crown-4 ether form the basal plane, whereas the N atom of the trideutero-aceto-nitrile occupies the apical position. The Li(+) atom is displaced by 0.794 (6) Å toward the apical position from the plane formed by the O atoms because the Li(+) atom is too large to fit in the cavity of the 12-crown-4 ether, resulting in a distorted square-pyramidal geometry about the Li(+) atom. ...[more]
