Tetrakis(μ₃-2-methyl-5-thienyl)tetrakis(diethyl ether-O)-tetrahedro-tetralithium

The lithium 2-methylthiophene complex, [Li(C₅H₅S)(C₄H₁₀O)]₄, crystallizes as a tetramer on a symmetry site. The fourLi atoms form a slightly distorted tetrahedron. The thiophene carbanions are each coordinated to a face of the lithium tetrahedron. One diethyl ether is also coordinated to each Li atom.
