Abstract: The title compound, bis(diethyl ether-O)tetra(tetrahydrofuran-O)[₄-tetrakis(1-naphthylimido)silane(4-)]tetralithium(I) diethyl ether solvate, [Li₄(C₄₀H₂₈N₄Si)(C₄H₈O)₄(C₄H₁₀O)₂]·C₄H₁₀O, has been structurally characterized. The compound contains the tetrakis(naphthylimido)silicate tetraanion, which is formally isoelectronic with the orthosilicate anion, [SiO₄]^4-. The two halves of the molecule are equivalent, related by a crystallographic twofold rotation axis.
