Abstract
Di-tert-butylberyllium, (t-C 4 H 9 ) 2 Be, and tert-butyllithium, (t-C 4 H 9 )Li, react in pentane to produce clear, colorless needlelike crystals of Li[Be(t-C 4 H 9 ) 3 ]. A single-crystal X-ray diffraction study at −149 o C has established the trigonal-planar arrangement of the tert-butyl groups around beryllium
