At a salt ratio of 0.75, we still find onefold G3 coordinated cations. However, due to competition with the anions, the G3 molecules are increasingly replaced by anions. Every G3 molecule forms, on average, three coordinative bonds with a [Li] + cation. A typical example of a coordinated cation in the 3:1 mixture of [Li][NTf 2 ] and G3 is illustrated in Figure . Note that Figures and illustrate the formation of lithium bridges, where adjacent anions are coordinatively interconnected via a [Li] + cation.
