Abstract

Lithium cages containing hydride: The reaction of tBuLi with Me₂AlN(2-Pyr)Ph in toluene gave [Lis(H){N(2- Pyr)Ph}₆]+[Li(Me₂AltBu₂)₂]^-, whose cation is the first molecular main group metal species to contain interstitial hydride (the cluster core is shown in the picture). Treatment of the reaction mixture with THF gave the neutral hydride LiT(H)[N(2-Pyr)Ph]₆, which has a capped octahedral (Li+)₇ cluster core. 2-Pyr = 2-pyridyl.
