The lithium dimethylphosphinomethanide with trimethylsilyl and 3,5-dimethylphenyl substituents in a position [Li(tmeda)₂]⁺[C(PMe₂)(SiMe₃)C₆H₃−3 ,5-Me₂]⁻ (2) was synthesized from Me₂P-CH(SiMe₃)C₆H₃−3 ,5-Me₂ (1) and LinⁿBu/tmeda in hexane in 56% yield (tmeda = N, N, N′, N′-tetramethylethylenediamine). In the solid state it consists of solvent-separated ion pairs which probably is also the case in solution (crystal structure data: tetragonal, space group I4₁cd, a = b = 19.303(3), c = 34.905(7) Å, Z = 16, R(F) = 0.054 for 2309 unique data and 299 refined parameters). The a-substituted lithium benzyl 2 is the first metal phosphinomethanide containing “free”, uncoordinated anions in the solid state. The lack of metal coordination of the anion is reflected in the bonding parameters at the planar carbanionoid benzylic carbon atom C1 (C1-P 1.773(8), C1-Si 1.846(8), C1-C2(Ph) 1.442(9) Å; C2-C1-P 125.3(5), C2-C1-Si 127.1(5), P-C1-Si 107.5(3)°; sum of the angles at C1: 359.9°).
