Factors governing the intermetallic ratios and coordination geometries
in lithium amidomagnesiates are discussed with reference to three mod
el crystal structures containing the same (dibenzylamido) ligand, whic
h remarkably reveal that an unsolvated lithium can induce coordination
expansion about a magnesium centre.
