Abstract: The molecular structure of the tetrahydrofuran adduct of the lithium salt of the primary phosphane DnpPH₂ (Dnp = 2,6-di-1-naphthylphenyl) of composition [Li(THF){P(H)Dnp}(THF)]₂ is reported. The dimeric and centrosymmetric complex, [Li₂(C₄H₈O)₂(C₂₆H₂₂OP)₂], features a three-coordinate Li atom in a slightly pyramidal coordination environment, with the sum of angles around it equal to 352.0° and a P atom in a highly distorted tetrahedral coordination environment.
