12. An impression of successively decreasing Li-ligand bond energies may be gained from calculations of the sequential microsolvation steps at the (hypothetical) monomeric methyllithium, as reported by: Abbotto, A.; Streitwieser, A.; Schleyer, P.; von, R. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1997, 119, 11255-11268, last paragraph on p 11257 therein.
13. The strong electric C-Li dipole moment of a monomer will be practically cancelled in the corresponding dimer (see Scheme 1 or 2); this was considered to be the major (thermodynamic) driving force promoting aggregation in a weakly polar ethereal solvent, as remarked by: Reich, H. J.; Goldenberg, W. S.; Gudmundsson, B. Ö.; Sanders, A. W.; Kulicke, K. J.; Simon, K.; Guzei, I. A. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2001, 123, 8067-8079, on p 8077.

Because of their high ligand exchange rates, however, such monodentate nitrogen ligands are apparently unsuited(23) for an analysis of the role of free donors in aggregation equilibria.
