Aj. Edwards et al., THE BROKEN CUBE POLYMER STRUCTURE OF (LIBR-CENTER-DOT-THF)(INFINITY) (THF = TETRAHYDROFURAN), Journal of the Chemical Society. Dalton transactions, (21), 1993, pp. 3265-3266
The reaction of GeBr4 with 2 equivalents of Li2[C10H7N] (C10H7N = 1-na
phthylamido dianion) in tetrahydrofuran (thf)-diethyl ether produces (
LiBr.thf)infinity as a product, which has an infinite 'corrugated' lad
der structure in the solid state and can be regarded as arising from t
he association of cube sof (LiBr.thf)4.
