According to the conventional view, liquid water has a similar, albeitless rigid, structure, in which extra molecules can pack into some ofthe open gaps in the tetrahedral arrangement.
根据传统观点，液态的水分子也是类似排列，尽管不那么严格，额外的分子会被包进四面体孔隙里。
This contradicts numerous theoretical studies which indicated a primarily tetrahedral coordination structure with a solvation number near 2 or 3, depending on the prevalence of ion pairing.
这与大量的理论研究——一个主要的四面体配位结构是2或3左右，取决于离子对的流动率的溶剂化数是相悖的。
"Our results indicate a solvation number of 4.5, which points to a non-tetrahedral solvation structure for the lithium ions," says lithium-battery expert Harris.
我们的结果显示4.5的溶剂化数，这表明是一个非四面体结构溶剂化锂离子，锂电池专家哈里斯说。
