Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a new O,N Lithium Coordination Polymer

The reaction of 4‐Amino‐6‐methyl‐1, 2, 4‐triazine‐3(2H)‐thione‐5‐one (HAMTTO) with n‐butyl lithium in dimethoxyethane (DME) gives the complex Li(DME)(AMTTO)] ( 1 ). 1 was characterized by elemental analysis, IR‐ and mass‐spectrometry and an X‐ray structure analysis space group P2₁/n, Z = 4, lattice dimensions at —80 °C: a = 867.6(1), b = 1721.5(2), c = 931.8(1) pm, β = 112.81(1)°, R₁ = 0.0315. The complex is a coordination polymer along 001] with a zig‐zag arrangement.
