Abstract
The solid-state structures of two important organometallic reagents, base-f ree indenyllithium and base-free fluorenylsodium, were determined by high-r esolution X-ray powder diffraction experiments. Indenyllithium crystallizes as art infinite chain in the fashion of a "multidecker structure", whereas fluorenylsodium forms the saltlike structure Na-2[NaFl(3)], containing the novel trigonal [NaFl(3)](2-) anion.
