Abstract

Infrared and Raman spectra of lithium tetramethylzincate, Li₂Zn(CH₄)₄, and lithium tetramethylaluminate, LiAl(CH₃)₄, and their isotopic analogs as solids have been measured and assigned. In both complexes, Li-C stretching modes have been observed at around 300 cm^-1 in the ir spectra. The local symmetries of Zn(CH₃)₄^3- and Al(CH₃)₄- ions are Τ_d and V_d (D_2d), respectively, LiAl(CH₃)₄ seems to form a linear chain analogous to LiAl(C₂H₅)₄.
