title: Tetrakis(tetrahydrofuran-kappaO)lithium mer-tris(carbazolyl-kappaN)-trans-dichloro(tetrahydrofuran-kappaO)zirconate.
abstract: In the title compound, [Li(C(4)H(8)O)(4)][ZrCl(2)(C(12)H(8)N)(3)(C(4)H(8)O)], the environment of the Zr atom is pseudo-octahedral, with the three carbazolyl ligands in a mer configuration. The counter-ion of the zirconium complex is composed of an Li atom surrounded by four tetrahydrofuran (THF) molecules. The THF molecule attached to the Zr atom is disordered over two sites, as are two of the THF molecules in the lithium moiety. All bond distances and angles are consistent with those in complexes with similar structural entities. The Zr-N bond distances are 2.2185 (18) and 2.167 (3) A.
