Conclusion
The study reveals the structural characteristics of a dimeric species formed by lithium difluoro(oxalato)borate and tetramethylene sulfone.
Supporting Evidence
- The title compound is a dimeric species that resides across a crystallographic inversion center.
- The dimers form eight-membered rings containing two Li+ cations.
- The Li+ cations are ligated by four O atoms from the anions and solvent molecules.
Takeaway
This research looks at how certain chemicals combine to form structures that could help improve batteries.
Methodology
The structure was analyzed using X-ray crystallography.
