THE FIRST EXAMPLE OF ETA(8) COORDINATION OF LITHIUM CATIONS WITH A CYCLOOCTATETRAENE DIANION - CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE OF LI-2(DIBENZO[A,E]CYCLOOCTATETRAENE)(TMEDA)(2)
A. Sygula et al., THE FIRST EXAMPLE OF ETA(8) COORDINATION OF LITHIUM CATIONS WITH A CYCLOOCTATETRAENE DIANION - CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE OF LI-2(DIBENZO[A,E]CYCLOOCTATETRAENE)(TMEDA)(2), Journal of organometallic chemistry, 526(2), 1996, pp. 389-391
The reported crystal structure of Li-2(dibenzo[a,e]cyclooctatetraene)(
TMEDA)(2) represents the first crystal structure of a dilithio cyclooc
tatetraene dianion, and the first example of eta(8) coordination of a
lithium cation with the cyclooctatetraene system.
