The title complex, [Li4(C17H14N4)2(C4H8O)4], bears a novel tetra-dentate di-amido ligand. In the tetra-nuclear centrosymmetric complex mol-ecule, the metal atoms exhibit two kinds of coordination modes. The middle two Li(+) cations are coord-inated by four N (ligand) and one O (tetra-hydro-furan, THF) atoms, resulting in a distorted square-pyramidal geometry. The outer two Li(+) cations are in distorted tetra-hedral environments consisting of three N (ligand) and one O (THF) atoms. The Li-N bond ...[more]
