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.

The title compound is readily crystallized from a 1 : 1 mixture of 2,2′-bipyridine and lithium(I) bromide in propan-2-ol; its structure has been established by single-crystal X-ray methods at c. 295 K. Crystals are monoclinic, P21/c, a 10.942(3), b 15.060(4), c 9.359(3)Ǻ, β 108.57(2)°, Z = 4; R was 0.050 for 1820 'observed' reflections. In the four-coordinate LiBrN2O environment, Li- Br,O are 2.47(1), 1.94(1)Ǻ, and Li-N are 2.05(1), 2.07(1)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.

Crystallization of anhydrous lithium(I) chloride from dry sulfolane yields a colourless crystalline 1 : 1 adduct, characterized by analysis and a single-crystal X-ray structure determination. Crystals are orthorhombic, Pna21, a 10.940(3), b 9.611(4), c 6.576(3)Ǻ, Z= 4 formula units; R was 0.033 for 869 independent 'observed' reflections. The structure is an infinite polymer containing four-coordinate (LiCl2O2) lithium, bridged by Li-Cl interactions and O,O′ sulfolanes. Li- Cl, Cl′ are 2.375(8), 2.309(7), and Li-O, O′ 2.016(7), 1.991(6)Ǻ.

The crystal structures of [Cu(Pme3)4]X (X = Cl , Br, I) and of [M(PPh3)4] [PF6] (M = Cu, Ag) have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods at 295 K. The former compounds contain nearly tetrahedral [Cu(PMe3)4]+ ions on sites of m symmetry with mean Cu-P bond lengths of 2.270, 2.271 and 2.278 Ǻ for X = Cl , Br and I respectively. The latter compounds contain [M(PPh3)4]+ ions on sites of 3 symmetry. In the M =Ag complex the coordination environment is close to tetrahedral, but in the M =Cu complex the length of the axial Cu-P bond [2.465(2)Ǻ] is significantly shorter than that of the off-axis bonds [2.566(2)Ǻ]. Possible reasons for this are discussed.
