In previous work (ref. 21 ), treatment of 1 with 2 afforded 3 , which contains a three-centre-two-electron trithorium bonding interaction. In this work, treatment of 1 and 2.2.2-cryptand with MC 8 reducing agents affords complexes 4M (M=K, Rb, Cs). The fate of the excess M and 2.2.2-cryptand component was not determined.
