Plucking LiCl out of a mixture of alkali metal chloride salts represents a recognized challenge, which could have long‐term benefits in the areas of lithium recycling and initial raw materials processing. In their Communication on page 11924 ff., J. L. Sessler, S. K. Kim, B. A. Moyer, and co‐workers use calixpyrrole‐based ion‐pair extractants to selectively remove LiCl from a solid mixture of alkali metal chloride salts. Selective liquid–liquid extraction of LiCl is also reported.
