N2 - Chiral [(salen)Li2·hmpa]2 has a Li 4O4 cubane-type core in the solid but low-temperature NMR spectroscopy reveals a racemisation equilibrium in solution; deliberate addition of H2O to [(salen)Li2]n in the presence of tmen produces a species having two Li4O4 cubes sharing a common oxygen and containing tmen ligands acting in a hitherto unobserved monofunctional mode.
