59. A total amount of 5-10 mol % chloride was measured by potentiometry after hydrolysis of a sample.
60. 6Li signals collapse in a broad signal centered at 0.4 ppm (see Figure 1S of the Supporting Information).
61. 6Li chemical shifts are given with respect to an external 0.3 M LiCl solution in THF.

66. 6Li dimension. This extra correlation is due to the strong exchange that takes place between LiCl and the new complex, even at 170 K (see the EXSY spectrum, Figure 3S of the Supporting Information). We warmly thank Prof. David Collum (Cornell University) for pointing out the risk of misinterpreting these results leading to erroneous conclusions.

70. Spectra simulations were performed with the Daisy Bruker software. See the Supporting Information.

75. The large tailing on the DOSY signals presented cannot be suppressed at the low temperature of these experiments. However, this phenomenon has no effect on the accuracy of the diffusion coefficients since the figures are generated by using curve fitting of signal attenuation data values and are not taken directly from the spectra (see the Supporting Information).

83. We also carried out an analysis in terms of distorsions as described by Fressigné et al. (Fressigné, C.; Maddaluno, J.; Giessner-Prettre, C. J. Chem. Soc., Perkin Trans. 2 1999, 2197-2201) but did not find any difference between bromide and chloride.
