Abstract: 

That lithiated aromatic amines with more than one nitrogen atom can favor polymeric aggregates in the solid state is demonstrated by the single crystal X-ray diffraction structure of [N-lithio-benzimidazole(DMSO)2]∞ 4; ab initio calculations on model compounds and simple electrostatic models indicate that the preference of the polymeric structure over dimeric alternatives is due to resonance stabilization and to Coulomb attraction between alternating benzimidazole anions and lithium cations.
