Abstract
The sequential reaction of PhN(H)C(Ph)NPh (AmH) with ALMe(3) and tBuLi lead s to the isolation of both the cluster (Li4Am3)(+). {Li[(mu -Me)(2)Al(Me)tB u](2)}(-) (5) and the aluminium tris(amidinate) AIAm(3) (6). In the solid s tate, 5 has a polymeric structure based on tetranuclear Lh-cluster cations and Lithium bis(aluminate) anions which associate by the formation of weak Li . . . MeAl bonds.
