Abstract

Novel adducts of lithium hexafluoroacetylacetonato {Li(hfa)} with polyethers (monoglyme = {CH3OCH2CH2OCH3}, diglyme = {CH3O(CH2CH2O)2CH3}, triglyme = {CH3O(CH2CH2O)3CH3} and tetraglyme {CH3O(CH2CH2O)4CH3} have been synthesized through a single step reaction and characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy, 1H, and 13C NMR, single crystal X-ray diffraction studies along with thermal analysis.
