A redetermination of lithium chloride dioxane

J. J. Morris, B. C. Noll and K. W. Henderson

Abstract: The crystal structure of the title compound, poly[₂-chloro-₂-dioxane-²O:O'-lithium(I)], [LiCl(C₄H₈O₂)]_n, displays a three-dimensional diamondoid network composed of Li-Cl and Li-O interactions. Each metal centre is similarly surrounded by two dioxane molecules and two chlorine atoms. The Li-O coordination is propagated along the c axis, forming a one-dimensional chain, and the three-dimensional structure is completed by Li-Cl interactions parallel to the ab plane. Principal dimensions include Li-Cl distances of 2.3115 (10) and 2.3270 (11) Å and Li-O distances of 1.9574 (10) and 1.9981 (11) Å.
