The crystal structure of lithium metal-organic compounds was studied. In the given compound, the bulky chelating monoanionic phosphine imidate ligand and two pyridine ligands bind to Li in a pseudo-tetrahedral arrangement with twofold symmetry. The results showed that the distance from Li to the N atoms of the aminophosphine imidate was 2.048 (5) Å while to the N atoms of the pyridine ligands, the distance was 2.114 (5) Å.
