title: Structures of [Li(glyme)](+) complexes and their interactions with anions in equimolar mixtures of glymes and Li[TFSA]: analysis by molecular dynamics simulations.
abstract: Molecular dynamics simulations of equimolar mixtures of glymes (triglyme and tetraglyme) and Li[TFSA] (lithium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide) show that the glyme chain length affects the coordination geometries of Li(+), which induces the changes in interactions between the [Li(glyme)](+) complex and [TFSA](-) anions and diffusion of ions in the equimolar mixtures.
