Abstract: The title compound, [Li(Me₂[9]aneN₃)]₃ or [Li₃(C₈H₁₈N₃)₃], (I), possesses a trimeric structure featuring four-coordinate N and Li atoms. Each of the Li atoms is bonded to the two amino N atoms and one amido N atom of one macrocycle, and to a further amido N atom of a second macrocycle. The central `core' is an essentially planar Li₃N₃ ring.
