Type 7 Lewis Acid/Base Complexation Chemistry
Common Strong & Weak Brønsted Bases and Ionic Salts

Bonding:	The s-LUMO Lewis acids like to be multiply complexed by Lobe-HOMO Lewis base ligands to achieve maximum spherical symmetry about the cation. Complexes form as ionic crystal lattice (cesium fluoride) or they may generate polar-covalent bonds (methyl lithium).
Charge:	The charge on a Type 7 complex can be negative, neutral or positive.
Chemistry:	With a few important exceptions – for example, amines and the saline hydrides – most of the proton abstracting (Brønsted base) reagents are Type 7 Lewis acid/base complexes: NaOH KNH₂ LiCH₃ CH₃COONa NaHCO₃ Na₂CO₃ etc. Other Type 7 complexes, in which the Lobe-HOMO Lewis Base is the conjugate base of a strong Brønsted acid, are non-basic ionic salts: KCl NaI LiBr etc. In polar solvent solution (water, THF, DMF or DMSO), Type 7 complexes may show differing degrees of ion pairing: Polar solvation requires the solvent to have lone pair Lobe-HOMO centres which compete with the Type 7 Complexes’ Lobe-HOMO Lewis base centre. Methyl lithium, for example, is usually considered to be a 1:1 polarised covalent compound, however, in diethyl ether or THF solvents the lithium cation is co-complexed with solvent molecules. In alkane solvents alkyl lithium reagents aggregate into hexamers and higher structures, Wikipedia.
Congeneric Series:	There are many important congeneric series: alkyl carbanion reagents become more basic as the alkyl groups are replaced by hydrogen ligands, and as the metal counter ion becomes congenerically heavier. Regular changes in physical properties occur as pairs of congeneric Lewis acid/base series interact to form congeneric series, planars and volumes of complexes:
