Structure of the nearest surrounding of the Li+ ion in aqueous solutions of its salts

Abstract
Structural characteristics of hydration of lithium ion in aqueous solutions of its salts are studied by X-ray diffraction. The results are summarized and correlated with relevant published data obtained by various methods. The structural parameters of the nearest surrounding of the Li+ ion, such as the coordination number, interparticle distances, and types of ionic association, are discussed.
