P,P-Di-tert-butyl-N-trimethylsilyl-P-(trimethylsilylamino)phosphine imidato-2N,N'bis(pyridine-N)lithium(I)
Abstract
In the title compound, Li(C14H36N2PSi2)(C5H5N)2, the bulky chelating monoanionic P,P-di-tert-butyl-N-trimethylsilyl-P-(trimethylsilylamino)phosphine imidate ligand and two pyridine ligands bind to Li in a pseudo-tetrahedral arrangement with twofold symmetry. The Li-Nphosphine distance is 2.048 (5) A, while the LiP distance is 2.520 (6) A.
