Solid [(diglyme)2Li+]PF6− and [(diglyme)2Li+]ClO4− salts melting at 132 and 66 °C, respectively, have been isolated. They involve two diglyme molecules wrapping the six-coordinated cation and a “spectroscopically free” anion in a similar local structure of complexation as in the P(EO)6,LiPF6 and P(EO)6,LiClO4 systems. The structures and vibrational assignments of the [(diglyme)2Li+]X− salts have been established by comparison with the corresponding IR and Raman spectra of liquid and solid diglyme and by using ab initio calculations. In particular, the atomic motions involved in the so-called “rattling”, D-LAM or “breathing” modes have been described in terms of a distorted octahedral cage of oxygen coordinating the lithium. Various (diglyme)n,LiClO4 samples (n
