Synthese und Kristallstruktur von [LiCl · 2THF]2 / Synthesis and Crystal Structure of [LiCl · 2THF]2

Abstract

The reaction of lithiated catechol ligands with W (0)Cl4 produces LiCl as a side product. The lithium chloride from this reaction crystallizes as (THF)2Li(μ-Cl)-,Li(THF)2. The X -ray analysis shows lithium in the center of a distorted tetrahedron made up from two THF molecules and two bridging chlorides with d(Li-Cl) = 2.342(3) and 2.308(3)Å.
