Di-μ-acetone-κ2 O:O-bis[(acetone-κO)aqualithium(I)] di-μ-acetone-κ2 O:O-bis[diaqualithium(I)] tetrakis{[phthalocyaninato(2−)-κ4 N,N′,N′′,N′′′]lithiate(I)}

The crystals of the title compound, [Li2(C3H6O)4(H2O)2][Li2(C3H6O)2(H2O)4] [Li(C32H16N8)]4, were obtained by a recrystallization of dilithium phthalocyanine from an acetone/water/toluene solution. The title structure consists of two independent Li–phthalocyanine complexes along with acetone-bridged lithium dimers. The lithium dimers are located on inversion centers. The crystal structure is stabilized by a network of hydrogen bonds.
