Abstract

The extended π‐conjugated 1,4‐diazine scaffolds hold a privileged place in modern chemistry due to their electron‐transfer and photophysical properties, supporting their adoption in energy storage and photocatalysis. Despite this utility, isolable lithium coordination complexes with these ligands remain rare. In this report, we investigate the coordination chemistry of the coordinatively unsaturated LiBDI Dipp complex with 1,4‐diazines, demonstrating that the steric bulk of the β‐diketiminate (BDI) ligand kinetically traps discrete aggregation states, as evinced by 7 Li NMR spectroscopy and X‐ray crystallography.
