Lithium carbide, {{chem|Li|2|C|2}}, often known as dilithium acetylide, is a chemical compound of lithium and carbon, an acetylide. It is an intermediate compound produced during radiocarbon dating procedures. {{chem|Li|2|C|2}} is one of an extensive range of lithium-carbon compounds which include the lithium-rich {{chem|Li|4|C}}, {{chem|Li|6|C|2}}, {{chem|Li|8|C|3}}, {{chem|Li|6|C|3}}, {{chem|Li|4|C|3}}, {{chem|Li|4|C|5}}, and the graphite intercalation compounds {{chem|LiC|6}}, {{chem|LiC|12}}, and {{chem|LiC|18}}.
{{chem|Li|2|C|2}} is the most thermodynamically-stable lithium-rich compound[2] and the only one that can be obtained directly from the elements. It was first produced by Moissan, in 1896[3] who reacted coal with lithium carbonate.

Li2CO3 + 4C->Li2C2 + 3CO

The other lithium-rich compounds are produced by reacting lithium vapor with chlorinated hydrocarbons, e.g. CCl4. Lithium carbide is sometimes confused with the drug lithium carbonate, {{chem|Li|2|CO|3}}, because of the similarity of its name.

Preparation and chemistry

In the laboratory samples may be prepared by treating acetylene with a solution of lithium in ammonia, on −40°C, with creation of addition compound of Li2C2 • C2H2 • 2NH3 that decomposes in stream of hydrogen at room temperature giving white powder of Li2C2.

C2H2 + 2Li -> Li2C2 + H2

Samples prepared in this manner generally are poorly crystalline. Crystalline samples may be prepared by a reaction between molten lithium and graphite at over 1000 °C.[2] Li2C2 can also be prepared by reacting CO2 with molten lithium.

10Li + 2CO2 -> Li2C2 + 4Li2O

Other method for production of Li2C2 is heating of metallic lithium in atmosphere of ethylene.

6Li + C2H4 -> Li2C2 + 4LiH

Lithium carbide hydrolyzes readily to form acetylene:

Li2C2 + 2H2O -> 2LiOH + C2H2

Lithium hydride reacts with graphite at 400°C forming lithium carbide.

2LiH + 4C -> Li2C2 + C2H2

Also Li2C2 can be formed when organometallic compound n-Buthyllithium reacts with ethyne in THF or Et2O used as a solvent, reaction is rapid and highly exothermic.

C2H2 + 2BuLi ->[Et2O or THF] Li2C2v + C4H10

Structure

{{chem|Li|2|C|2}} is a Zintl phase compound and exists as a salt, {{chem|2Li|+|C|2||2−}}. Its reactivity, combined with the difficulty in growing suitable single crystals, has made the determination of its crystal structure difficult. It adopts a distorted anti-fluorite crystal structure, similar to that of rubidium peroxide ({{chem|Rb|2|O|2}}) and caesium peroxide ({{chem|Cs|2|O|2}}). Each Li atom is surrounded by six carbon atoms from 4 different acetylides, with two acetylides co-ordinating side -on and the other two end-on.[2][4] The observed C-C distance of 120 pm indicates the presence of a C≡C triple bond.

At high temperatures {{chem|Li|2|C|2|}} transforms reversibly to a cubic anti-fluorite structure.[5]

Use in radiocarbon dating

{{main|Radiocarbon dating}}

There are a number of procedures employed, some that burn the sample producing CO2 that is then reacted with lithium, and others where the carbon containing sample is reacted directly with lithium metal.[6] The outcome is the same: Li2C2 is produced, which can then be used to create species easy to use in mass spectroscopy, like acetylene and benzene.[7] Note that lithium nitride may be formed and this produces ammonia when hydrolyzed, which contaminates the acetylene gas.
