Bis(µ-dimesitylborinato-κO:O)bis-[(2-methyl-pyridine-κN)lithium].

The title compound, [Li(2)(C(18)H(22)BO)(2)(C(6)H(7)N)(2)], is a lithium dimesitylboroxide dimer in which the lithium cation is also coordinated by one mol-ecule of 2-methyl-pyridine. At the core of the structure is an Li(2)O(2) four-membered ring. The structure is centrosymmetric with an inversion centre midway between two Li atoms. Inter-molecular C-H⋯π inter-actions and π-π inter-actions between the 2-methyl-pyridine rings exist [centroid-centroid distance = 3.6312 (16) Å].
