Abstract: In the title compound, [Li(CH₃CN)₄]PF₆·CH₃CN, the asymmetric unit consists of three independent tetrahedral [Li(CH₃CN)₄]⁺ cations, three uncoordinated PF₆^- anions and three uncoordinated CH₃CN solvent molecules. The three anions are disordered over two sites through a rotation along one of the F-P-F axes. The relative occupancies of the two sites for the F atoms are 0.643 (16):0.357 (16), 0.677 (10):0.323 (10) and 0.723 (13):0.277 (13). The crystal used was a racemic twin, with approximately equal twin components.
