Abstract

The crystal structure of LiBr·(CH3OCH2CH2OCH3)2 has been determined from counter data and refined by full-matrix least-squares techniques. The crystals belong to the monoclinic space groupC2/c (C 62h , No. 15) witha=13.518(4),b=8.007(3),c=12.252(4) Å,β=98.08(2)°, andD calc=1.35 gcm−3 forZ=4. The finalR value for 489 observed reflections is 0.033. The lithium and bromine atoms lie on a crystallographic two-fold axis. The structure consists of discrete LiBr·(CH3OCH2CH2OCH3)2 units. The Li-Br separation is 2.57(1) Å. The two DME molecules are coordinated to the lithium atom through the four oxygen atoms at an average Li⋯O separation of 2.09(3) Å.
