Abstract: In the title compound, [Li(C₁₅H₂₂BN₆)(C₅H₈N₂)]·C₅H₈N₂, the lithium ion shows a LiN₄ distorted tetrahedral geometry with a tridentate TpMe₂ [TpMe₂ = tris(dimethylpyrazolyl)borate] ligand and one 3,5-dimethylpyrazole molecule. A clathrated 3,5-dimethylpyrazole molecule appears to be attached to the Li complex through N-HN, N-H and - interactions. The crystal packing is otherwise dominated by hydrophobic methyl-methyl interactions.
