Abstract
Abstract Lithium complex stabilised by 2-amino-functionalized benzoylpyrrole was synthesized, and its structural features were provided. The molecular structure shows a novel tetrameric cage structure, which includes a eight-membered (LiN)4 ring and a eight-membered (LiO)4 ring with the coordinating pyrrolyl ligands. It was proved to an efficient catalyst for the cyclotrimerisation of isocyanates in good to excellent yields under mild conditions.
