Abstract

Combination of the ammonium salt method and normal metalation makes it possible to construct in a controlled fashion the inorganic/organic lithium complex 1. BuLi, NH4NCS, phenol, and HMPA (4: 1 : 3 : 4) in toluene afforded the air‐sensitive compound 1 in over 60% yield. Compound 1 contains three terminal HMPA ligands and one terminal NCS ligand as well as three μ3‐bridging PhO ligands and one μ3‐bridging HMPA ligand. The analogous complex containing four PhO ligands and no NCS ligand was also synthesized. The latter is completely inert toward water and air. (Figure Presented.)
