Ion–solvent complexes promote electrolyte decomposition on alkali/alkaline earth metal anodes. In their Communication on page 16643 ff., Q. Zhang and co‐workers describe how complexed cations can regulate the contribution ratio of carbon atomic orbitals in LUMOs of ion–ester complexes or totally change the atomic contribution in LUMOs of ion–ether complexes to reduce the LUMO energy level.
