Popis: Lithium fluoroarylamidinates [(Ar(F)C(NSiMe(3))(2)Li)(n).xD] (Ar(F) = 4-CF(3)C(6)H(4), n = 2, D = OEt(2), x = 1 (2a); n = 1, D = TMEDA, x = 1 (4a); Ar(F) = 2-FC(6)H(4), n = 2, D = OEt(2), x = 1 (2b); Ar(F) = 4-FC(6)H(4), n = 2, D = OEt(2), x = 2 (2c); Ar(F) = 2,6-F(2)C(6)H(3), n = 2, D = OEt(2), x = 1 (2d); n = 2, D = 2,6-F(2)C(6)H(3)CN, x = 2 (3d); Ar(F) = C(6)F(5), n= 2, D = OEt(2), x = 1 (2e), n = 1, D = TMEDA, x = 1 (4e); n = 1, x = 2, D = OEt(2) (5e); D = THF (6e)) were prepared by the well-known method from LiN(SiMe(3))(2) and the corresponding nitrile in diethyl ether or by addition of the appropriate donor D to the respective diethyl ether complexes. Depending on the substituents at the aryl group and on the donors D, three different types of structures were confirmed by X-ray crystallography. Hydrolysis of 2e gave C(6)F(5)C(NSiMe(3))N(H)SiMe(3) (7e) and C(6)F(5)C(NH)N(H)SiMe(3) (8e). The lithium fluoroarylamidinates 2a-2d react with Me(3)SiCl to give the corresponding tris(trimethylsilyl)fluoroarylamidines Ar(F)C(NSiMe(3))N(SiMe(3))(2) (9a-9d). Attempts to prepare C(6)F(5)C(NSiMe(3))N(SiMe(3))(2) from 2e and Me(3)SiCl failed; however, the unprecedented cage [[C(6)F(5)C(NSiMe(3))(2)Li](4)LiF] (10e) in which a fluoride center is surrounded by a distorted trigonal bipyramid of five Li atoms was obtained from this reaction.
