Two different Li environments characterize the solvent‐free, polymeric structure of 1 in the crystal. A tetrameric chain is formed by Li atoms, which are coordinated by two O and three or five C atoms. In contrast, 1 exists as isolated tetramers in THF. The C(Li)O carbenoid character of 1 results in an elongated CO bond and in lithium bridging.
