The X-ray crystal structure of (1,2-dimethoxyethane-kappaO,O')lithium
tris(trimethylsilyl)silylselenolate, [Li(C4H10O2)][SeSi(C3H9Si)3], was
determined and the compound was found to be dimeric in the solid stat
e. Pertinent parameters of the dimer [(1,2-dimethoxyethane)LiSeSi(SiMe
3)3]2 are compared to those found in related lithium tellurolates.
