Graphical Abstract
Larger lithium clusters than tetrahedral and octahedral Lin aggregates can be prepared as cage structures with a central anion. The central chlorine atom (green) serves as a template for the formation of a Li12 icosahedral cage (orange), which is stabilized by 1,4-butanediide “clamps” (C gray).
