Abstract

Thumbnail image of graphical abstract

Metal lite: High-resolution neutron powder diffraction data reveals that the body-centered cubic crystal structure of lithium(0)tetraamine transforms to a simple cubic structure below 22 K. The detailed structure determinations will allow new insights into the coupled structural and electronic properties of the lightest metal.
