Due to the presence of more anions, these tend to replace the G3 molecules in the second solvation sphere. The RDFs in Figure barely demonstrate the typical structure of a standard molecular liquid. Ordered solvation spheres can be observed only partly for the mixtures of [Li][NTf 2 ] and G3. Anions and G3 molecules compete with each other for the interaction with cations, leading to anomalies in the ordered solvation spheres. This is confirmed by the cation-anion RDFs of the various mixtures at 300 K. For all mixtures, the first peak of the cation-anion RDFs is located at approximately 4 Å to the cation. Since the anions cannot enclose the cations through coordination, they exhibit larger distances to the central cation compared to the G3 molecules. For the mixtures with x[Li][NTf 2 ] = 0.5 and 0.75, many anions coordinate the cations, resulting in a large peak at approximately 4.5 Å. The first coordination sphere is significantly less populated for the mixtures with less salt content. For these, the closest anions to the lithium cations are predominantly found at 6 to 8 Å. Anions found at such distances to the cations are not taking part in the coordination, meaning that the complexation of the cation is completely taken over by G3.
