Lithium cations structure

The dilithium triimidochalcogenites [Ei2 E(N Bu)3 ]2 form dimeric structures in which two pyramidal [E(N Bu)3] dianions are bridged by four lithium cations to form distorted, hexagonal prisms of the type 10.13. A fascinating feature of these cluster systems is the formation of intensely coloured [deep blue (E = S) or green (E = Se)] solutions upon contact with air. The EPR spectra of these solutions (Section 3.4), indicate that one-electron oxidation of 10.13a or 10.13b is accompanied by removal of one Ei" ion from the cluster to give neutral radicals in which the dianion [E(N Bu)3] and the radical monoanion [E(N Bu)3] are bridged by three ions. ... 

According to the above classification, the structures of LiNb(Ta)F6 and Li2Nb(Ta)OF5 should be composed of lithium cations and isolated octahedral complex ions, Nb(Ta)F6 or Nb(Ta)OF52, respectively. It is known, however, that the structure of these compounds consists only of octahedrons linked via their vertexes in the first case, and via their sides in the second case. The same behavior is observed in compounds containing bi- and trivalent metals. 

The proportion of hydrochloric acid in the mobile phase was not to exceed 20%, so that complex formation did not occur and zone structure was not adversely affected. An excess of accompanying alkaline earth metal ions did not interfere with the separation but alkali metal cations did. The lithium cation fluoresced blue and lay at the same height as the magnesium cation, ammonium ions interfered with the calcium zone. 

Spectroscopic investigations of the lithium derivatives of cyclohexanone (V-phenylimine indicate that it exists as a dimer in toluene and that as a better donor solvent, THF, is added, equilibrium with a monomeric structure is established. The monomer is favored at high THF concentrations.110 A crystal structure determination was done on the lithiated A-phenylimine of methyl r-butyl ketone, and it was found to be a dimeric structure with the lithium cation positioned above the nitrogen and closer to the phenyl ring than to the (3-carbon of the imine anion.111 The structure, which indicates substantial ionic character, is shown in Figure 1.6. 

A TS represented by structure L accounts for this stereochemistry. Such an arrangement is favored by ion pairing that would bring the amide anion and lithium cation into close proximity. Simultaneous coordination of the lithium ion at the epoxide results in a syn elimination. 

The structure of this silaamidide salt consists of well-separated, noninteracting lithium cations [Li(12-crown-4)THF]e and N,N -bis(2,4,6-tri-/-bu-tylphenyl)-f-butylsilaamidide anions. In the anion, the silicon is tricoordi-nated to a carbon atom of the r-butyl group and to two nitrogen atoms. 

Lithium 2-diisopropylamino-2-boratanaphthalene (cf. 28) with Me2-NCH2CH2NMe2 (TMEDA) forms a crystalline derivative Li(TMEDA) (C9H7BNPr 2) which has been characterized by X-ray structure determination (102). The lithium cation is situated above the center of the boratabenzene moiety of the anion and, in addition, is chelated by one TMEDA ligand. Thus, the crystal consists of discrete tight ion-pair molecules. 

It should be noted here, that not only the (chemical and morphological) composition of the protective layers at the basal plane surfaces and prismatic surfaces is different, but that these layers also have completely different functions. At the prismatic surfaces, lithium ion transport into/ffom the graphite structure takes place by intercalation/de-intercalation. Here the formed protective layers of electrolyte decomposition products have to act as SEI, i.e., as transport medium for lithium cations. Those protective layers, which have been formed on/at the basal plane surfaces, where no lithium ion transport into/from the graphite structure takes place, have no SEI function. However, these non-SEI layers still protect these anode sites from further reduction reactions with the electrolyte. 

The dilithium triimidochalcogenites [Li2 E(NtBu)3 ]2 form dimeric structures in which two pyramidal [H( N B li )3]2 dianions are bridged by four lithium cations to form distorted, hexagonal prisms of the type 59. 

As an example, infrared spectroscopy has shown that the lowest stable hydration state for a Li-hectorite has a structure in which the lithium cation is partially keyed into the ditrigonal hole of the hectorite and has 3 water molecules coordinating the exposed part of the cation in a triangular arrangement (17), as proposed in the model of Mamy (J2.) The water molecules exhibit two kinds of motion a slow rotation of the whole hydration sphere about an axis through the triangle of the water molecules, and a faster rotation of each water molecule about its own C axis ( l8). A similar structure for adsorbed water at low water contents has been observed for Cu-hectorite, Ca-bentonite, and Ca-vermiculite (17). 

The first derivative of carba-nido-tetraboranes(7), 16a, was prepared by reaction of anionic 17 with iodomethane and characterized by NMR spectroscopy and by model computations (Scheme 3.2-10) [28]. The structurally analyzed 16b is obtained by deuteration of the dianion 10a2 [20] mentioned in Section 3.2.2.2. The results of an X-ray structural analysis of its dilithium salt are discussed in Section 3.2.8.3. The lithium cations are coordinated side-on to the B-B 2c2e bonds just as predicted for the aromatic U2B3H3 [6]. Obviously, (Li+)210a2 is a 2e homoaromatic. Since the positions of the lithium cations resemble those of the deuter-... 

The structure of dimeric donor-base-free lithium fiuorenyi [FlLi]2 (88) is reminiscent of [Li(Ci9Hn)]2 (86), because in both structures the two present lithium cations are...
