The reaction of 9-trimethylsilylfluorenyllithium (C13H8SiMe3)Li (1) with α-hydrogen-free nitriles gave highly sensitive lithium compounds, (η3-C13H8SiMe3)Li(tBuCN)(Et2O) (2), [η3-(C13H8)C(NMe2)N(SiMe3)]Li (Et2O)2 (3) and [η3,η6-(C13H8)C(Ph)N(SiMe3)Li]2 (4), illustrating bonding features of η3-allyl, η3-azaallyl, and η6-arene interactions.
