The donor-free trimethylsilylmethyllithium [LiCH2SiMe3]6 hexameric aggregate is for the first time broken up by simple ether donors such as diethyl ether (Et2O) and tert-butylmethyl ether (tBuOMe) to give the unprecedented asymmetric tetramers while the chelating dimethoxyethane (DME) gives the expected dimer.
