= non-chembox sections = Lithium tetraamine, Li(NH3)4, is a weakly metallic electride which has the lowest known melting point of any metal. It lies close to a Mott metal insulator transition

Structure
Each lithium atom is tetrahedrally coordinated by four NH3 molecules. Body centered cubic crystal structure stable between 82 and 89 K, hexagonal structure stable below 82 K.

Deuterated
Melts at 89 K Doesn't undergo a phase transition at 82 K. Transition to simple cubic structure at 22 K.

Preparation
Formed from the dissolution of lithium in ammonia at the proper ratio

Reactions
Powerful reducing agent
