The additional molecule of methyllithium present in [(Me 4 Fe)(MeLi)][Li(OEt 2 )] 2 ( 1 ), the first structurally characterized ate complex of Fe II bearing only alkyl substituents without any further stabilizing ligands (see picture: Fe: magenta; Li: cyan; O: red; C and H: gray), is a particularly remarkable structural feature and contributes to the fascinating reactivity profile of 1 in the title reactions.
