In the title binuclear complex, [Li2(C27H36N2)2I2], the unique Li(I) cation is coordinated by two iodide anions and one yl-idene C atom from a 1,3-bis-(2,6-diiso-propyl-phen-yl)imidazol-2-yl-idene ligand in a distorted trigonal-planar geometry. The two symmetry-related iodide anions bridge two Li(I) cations, forming an inversion dimer in which the Li2I2 plane is nearly perpendicular to the imidazol-2-yl-idene ring, with a dihedral angle of 85.5 (3)°. No hydrogen bonding is observed in the crysta ...[more]
