Abstract: The title compound, [Li₂(C₁₄H₂₄N₃Si)₂], has been prepared in hexane and its structure has been determined. It crystallizes as a dimer with twofold rotation symmetry and the coordination geometry around the Li atoms is distorted tetrahedral, with each of the Li atoms bonding to two N atoms of an amidinate fragment in one ligand and to two N atoms of the other ligand in the dimer.
