Addition of lithium hexamethyldisilazide to an equimolar amount of calcium bis(hexamethyldisilazide) in toluene gave 'solvent-free'. [Li{mu-N(SiMc(3))(2)}(2)Ca{N(SiMe3)(2)] (1). An X-ray study reveals a dinuclear arrangement based on a planar LiNCaN four-membered ring: both metals engage in additional H3C...M (where M = Lt. Ca) interactions with the mu-N(SiMe3)(2) substituents resulting in a distorted tetrahedral geometry at lithium and a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry at calcium. This contrasts with the previously reported mixed Li-Mg analogue, [Li{mu-N(SiMe3)(2)}(2)Mg{N(SiMe3)(2)}], where only the lithium centre engages in such intramolecular agostic H3C...Li interactions.
