Abstract
The hexaprotic phosphazene {2-(MeO)C6H4NH}(6)P3N3 reacts with 12 equivalent s of (BuLi)-Li-n in thf to give the monomeric dodecanuclear complex (thf)(6 )Li-12[{2-(MeO)C6H4N}(6)P3N3](CH2=CHO)(6) which contains six enolate anions resulting from fragmentation of thf; the hexaanionic pentadecadentate phos phazenate ligand [{2-(MeO)C6H4N}(6)P3N3](6-) accommodates a total of twelve lithium ions in bidentate chelation sites.
