Although only sparingly soluble in acetonitrile, lithium(1) bromide and iodide crystallize as acetonitrile adducts, structurally characterized as LiX/MeCN 1 : 2 and 1 : 4 respectively by single-crystal structure determinations. The bromide is a �,�′-dibromo-bridged dimer , ( MeCN )2LiBr2Li( NCMe )2)] (monoclinic, P21/n, a 7.624(2), b 12.61 2(2), c 8.047(3) � , β 98.94(3)°p; Z 2 dimers; R 0.038 for No 1081 'observed' reflections); Li-Br, N 2.534(7), 2.492(8); 2.031(9), 2.047(8) � respectively, with Li…Li, 3.17(1); Br…Br, 3.8989(9) � respectively. The iodide is ionic, [Li( NCMe )4]+1- (orthorhombic, P21221, a 20.66(1), b 12.208(6), c 8.4296) �, Z 6; R 0.062 for No 866).

The title compound, an artefact of recrystallization of lithium bromide from improperly dried quinoline, has been characterized by a single- crystal X-ray structure determination. Crystals are triclinic, Pī , a 16.608(9), b 12.27(1), c 7.962(8)Ǻ, α 101.98(8),β 91.79(7),γ 92.27(6), Z 2; R was 0.058 for 2404 'observed' reflections. The cation is the first to be structurally defined for a [Li(OH2)2 (N-base)2]+ system; Li-O are 1.92(2), 1.93(2)Ǻ and Li-N 2.12(2), 2.14(2)Ǻ.

Complexes [XLiL3], X = Cl , Br, I; L = 4-t-butylpyridine, (1)-(3) have been synthesized by recrystallization of the anhydrous lithium halide from the parent base, and characterized structurally by single-crystal X-ray structure determination. (1) and (2) are isomorphous (monoclinic, P21), a ≈ 11.8, b ≈ 12.1, c ≈ 11.8 Ǻ, β 120°, Z 2 (R 0.051, 0.040 for No 1491, 1499 'observed' reflections); (3) is orthorhombic, Pbca, a 22.119(10), b 21.108(10), c 12.845(10) Ǻ, Z 8, R 0.067 for No 967. (1)- (3) are all pseudo- trigonal and contain four-coordinate XLiN3 arrays [Li-X, 2.33(1); 2.53(1); 2.76(4) Ǻ; Li-N, 2.03(1)-2.11(1); 2.04(1)-2.09(2); 2.03(4)-2.07(4)Ǻ]. Similar data are also recorded for X = I, L = quinoline (4)[monoclinic, P21/c, a 15.684(6), b 7.693(4), c 26.758(12) Ǻ,β 107.71(3)°, Z 4; R 0.072, No 3096; Li-I, 2.78(2); Li-N, 2.08(2)- 2.13(2)Ǻ]. While a close parallel may be drawn between the similarity of the chemistry of lithium(I) and copper(I) in respect of (1)-(3), (4) is unusual being the first XML3 derivative for a quinoline -type ligand; it is a monoquinoline solvate.

The syntheses and single-crystal X-ray structure determinations of adducts of the lithium(I) halides with the following stoichiometries are reported: 1 : 3 lithium(I) bromide, iodide/ pyridine, monomers; 1 : 2 lithium(I) bromide/ quinoline and lithium(I) iodide/ quinaldine , both as [L2LiX2LiL2] dimers ; and 1 : 1� lithium(I) iodide/2,4,6-trimethylpyridine, 'step' tetramer.
