Crystal structure of the tetrahydrofuran adduct of tris(trimethylsilyl)-methyl-lithium, [Li(thf)4][Li{C(SiMe3)3}2], an ate derivative of lithium

Abstract
A crystal structure determination on the tetrahydrofuran adduct of tris(trimethylsilyl)methyl-lithium has shown it to be an ate complex, [Li(thf)4][Li{C(SiMe3)3}2].
