The dihedral angle between the aromatic rings is 11.10 (5)° and the Car—Cm—Cm—Car (ar = aromatic and m = methyl­ene) torsion angle is 179.60 (14)°. No directional inter­actions beyond normal van der Waals contacts could be identified in the crystal. To our best knowledge, it is the first known coupling product of metallated mesitylene.enIUCrData / International Union of Crystallography;Crystal structureMesityleneDi­methyl­phenyl­ethaneLi­thia­tion540article (journal)
