An Al/N adamantanyl frame with three of its Al3N3 faces capped by Li (see picture; E = NPh) forms the core of the title anion. Formation of the charge-separated species, and the unique arrangement adopted by the cage atoms is rationalized through analysis of its solid-state structure and by ab initio calculations.
