X-ray crystallographic NMR and calculational modeling studies using B3LYP/6-311G* of selected dilithium derivatives of the 1,3-butadiene dianion including cis-dilithio-1,4-bis(TMS)-2-butene路(TMEDA)22, internally solvated cis-dilithio-1,4-bis[bis(2-methoxyethyl)aminomethyldimethylsilyl]-2-butene 5, and using only modeling, 1,4-dilithio-2-butene路(TMEDA)29 reveal remarkably similar structural and NMR parameters. In the solid, 5 consists of unusual 鈥淭鈥?shaped dynamic clusters. In all three bridging lithiums are sited between 1.8 and 1.9 脜 normal to the centroids of opposite faces of the near coplanar of the 2-butene component. Typical bond lengths of the latter are 1.458 卤 0.004, 1.385 卤 0.006, and 1.459 卤 0.003 脜, for C1鈥揅2, C2鈥揅3, and C3鈥揅4, respectively. The 13C chemical shifts lie within the ranges 未 21 卤 0.5, 99 卤 0.7, 99 卤 0.7 and 21 卤 0.5 for C1, C2 and C3 together, and C4, respectively. Dynamic 13C NMR provides activation parameters for nitrogen inversion in 2 and 5, overall molecular inversion of 5, and conformational interconversion of 2.
