Crystallization of lithium(I) nitrate from 2-methylpyridine and 3,5-dimethylpyridine yields 1 : 2 and 1:3 adducts respectively, characterized by single-crystal X-ray structure determination. The 1:2 adduct is a linear polymeric species with the lithium atom four- coordinated by two monodentate ligands and two oxygen atoms of O,O′- bridging nitrate groups; there are two crystallographically independent polymeric strands in the structure. The 1:3 adduct is mononuclear, again with four-coordinate lithium. The three Li-N distances range from 2.05(2) to 2.08(2)Ǻ, while Li-O is 1.98(2)Ǻ.

Crystalline adducts of the lithium(I) halides, LiX (X = Cl , Br, I) with N,N,N′,N′- tetramethylethyl-enediamine (tmeda) have been synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray studies. Both bromide and iodide form 1 : 1 adducts which are μ,μ-dihalo-bridged binuclear species, [( tmeda )LiX2Li( tmeda )], with four-coordinate N2LiX2 lithium environments; in addition, the iodide yields an ionic 1 : 2 adduct, [Li( tmeda )2]+I-. The chloride complex is a novel 3 : 2 polymer based an a double cubane Li6Cl6 unit solvated by chelating and bridging tmeda units.

The title compound, isolated as an artefact of the recrystallization of lithium chloride from 2,6-dimethylpyridine, and the subject of a single-crystal X-ray study (R = 0.063 for 1200 'observed' reflections), contains the novel centrosymmetric [(H2O)2Li(OH2)2Li(OH2)2]2+ cation. Li- O(bridging) are 2.05(2), 2.00(2)Ǻ; Li-O (terminal) are 1.88(2), 1.88(2)Ǻ. Li-O-Li is 89.1(7) and O-Li-O′ (core) is 90.9(8)°. The angle between the terminal water oxygens at the lithium is 122.6(11)° and O(terminal)-Li-O(bridge) range from 101.7(7) to 123.0(10)°. An elegant hydrogen bonding scheme is found, one hydrogen atom from each of the water molecules being associated with the chloride counterion at 2.0- 2.2 Ǻ; the other hydrogen atom of each water is directed towards the nitrogen atom of one of each of the base molecules, H…N ~ 1.6-2.1 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.

AbstractThe L-edge X-ray Absorption Near Edge Structure (XANES) is widely used in the characterization of transition metal compounds. Here, we report the development of a database of computed L-edge XANES using the multiple scattering theory-based FEFF9 code. The initial release of the database contains more than 140,000 L-edge spectra for more than 22,000 structures generated using a high-throughput computational workflow. The data is disseminated through the Materials Project and addresses a critical need for L-edge XANES spectra among the research community.
