[edit] Structure Images
The structure pictures in this article are not accurate. The substance forms a much more complex oligomer in solid and solution phases. I commented out two of these pictures. I left in the "ionic" structure as it is commonly used by organic chemists to describe the reactivityof the substance. If anybody has a public domain image to show the real structure, or even a link to a good one somewhere, that would be great.
[edit] Reacts with Water?
The article text says that this compound "reacts violently with water", but the NPFA 704 thing in the sidebar does not show the W symbol. Are these both correct? --Jonadab, 2007 Mar 17
- Its reaction with water is energetic enough to ignite it or its solvent. T-butyllithium bursts into flame in air. --Vuo 18:03, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
