The title compounds, hexa-kis-[μ3-2-(di-methyl-amino)-ethano-lato]hexa-μ2-iso-propano-lato-μ4-oxido-tetra-deca-lithium(I), [Li7(i-PrO)3(C4H10NO)3]2O (1), and {3-[(2-meth-oxy-eth-yl)(meth-yl)amino]-1,1-dimethylpropano-lato}diiso-prop-an-o-lsodium(I), [Na(i-PrOH)2(C8H18NO2)] (2), were crystallized in the presence of 2-propanol (i-PrOH, C3H7OH). The structure 1 has monoclinic symmetry (C2/c) and the asymmetric unit contains half of the compound. Title compound 2 has triclinic symmetry (P ) and the asymmetric unit is half of an inversion-symmetric aggregate. Both compounds consist of an alkali metal, an amino-alkoxide and a 2-propanol compound. Furthermore, the dimeric sodium aggregate 2 is build up by hydrogen bonding through the 2-propanol and the alkoxides. Compound 1 does not exhibit hydrogen bonding, due to the fact that the 2-propanol is deprotonated. In compound 1, benzene appeared as co-crystallate, but was suppressed by solvent masking because of strong disorder. The formula mass and density do not take account of the solvent.The title compounds, hexa-kis-[μ3-2-(di-methyl-amino)-ethano-lato]hexa-μ2-iso-propano-lato-μ4-oxido-tetra-deca-lithium(I), [Li7(i-PrO)3(C4H10NO)3]2O (1), and {3-[(2-meth-oxy-eth-yl)(meth-yl)amino]-1,1-dimethylpropano-lato}diiso-prop-an-o-lsodium(I), [Na(i-PrOH)2(C8H18NO2)] (2), were crystallized in the presence of 2-propanol (i-PrOH, C3H7OH).
