Alkali metal reduction of alkali metal cations

Abstract Counter to synthetic convention and expectation provided by the relevant standard reduction potentials, the chloroberyllate, [{SiNDipp}BeClLi]2 [{SiNDipp} = {CH2SiMe2N(Dipp)}2; Dipp = 2,6-i-Pr2C6H3)], reacts with the group 1 elements (M = Na, K, Rb, Cs) to provide the respective heavier alk...
