N2 - n-Butyllithium reacts with a solution of PhNC(Ph)NHPh (N,N′-diphenylbenzamidine) and NMe[(CH2)2NMe2]2 (pmdeta) to give the complex LiCPh(NPh)2·pmdeta, which is monomeric in the solid state with a five-co-ordinate litium cation bound to a tridentate pmdeta ligand and a bidentate amidinide anion (diazaallyl system, chelating), in which the two N-C bond lengths of 1.336(4) and 1.335(4) Å suggest almost uniform delocalisation along the N-...C-...N unit.
