A distorted square‐planar coordinated Li + ion is located in the pocket of the triple‐stranded helicate (structure shown on the right) formed by self‐assembly of three ethylene‐bridged bis(catecholate) ligands, and two titanium( IV ) ions. This unusual coordination geometry is the result of steric effects and stabilizing hydrogen bonds between the two water molecules bound to the Li + ion and oxygen atoms of the ligands.
