Easiest way is cooling in fridge below 0oC - LiHDMS crystallizes perfectly from concentrated hexane solution as ~100% pure compound. After cold filtering in inert atmosphere, crystals are suitable for any manupulation.
1H NMR with pre-weighted standard (TMS of HMDS) allow to quantify LiHMDS in solution
