In the heterometallic title bulky amido complex, [LiNa(C15H21N2Si)2(C6H16N2)], both alkali metal ions are four-coordinated with distorted tetra-hedral geometries. The Li(+) ion is N,N'-chelated by the N-silylated amido ligand, with Li-N = 2.015 (5) and 2.074 (5) Å. The two amido ligands are arranged cis to each other. The mol-ecule exhibits a twofold rotational symmetry operation along the Li-N...

The complete molecule of the title compound, C(24)H(22)N(4)O(2), is generated by a crystallographic inversion centre located at the mid-point of the central C-C bond. The quinoline ring system and the hexyl chain are both essentially planar, and the dihedral angle between them is 46.30 (2)°. Intra-molecular N-H⋯N and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds form five- and six-numbered rings, respectively. The crys...
