Lithium-containing molecules, such as C<sub>2</sub>H<sub>2</sub>Li<sub>2</sub>, C<sub>6</sub>Li<sub>6</sub>, and several lithium
halides, have been studied in the present paper, and the nature of
lithium bonds in these structures is investigated. In contrast to
the hydrogen bond, which features a typical quasi-linear and dicoordinated
(X···H–Y) geometry, the ionic lithium bond prefers
nonlinear and multicoodinated geometrical arrangements. On the basis
of these observations, we have predicted some novel energetically
low-lying C<sub>6</sub>Li<sub>6</sub> structures. With its unusual
features, the Li bond theory should be applied rather widely.
