This should be approachable by measuring 3 characteristics of LiOr solutions:
1. conductance -- higher conductance implies free ions
1. conductivity -- higher conductance implies free ions
2. osmolality -- higher osmolality implies dissociation

3. free Li+ concentration -- Li-selective electrode will detect Li+ if dissociated, but not in LiOr complex.

From Aron 2025 et al:
Conductivity measurements
To measure the conductivity of Li salts, the salts were dissolved in water
to achieve Li concentrations of 4.3 mEq l−1, 430 μEq l−1, 43 μEq l−1 or
21.5 μEq l−1 in each case. Conductivity was measured using an ST300C
conductivity meter (OHAUS, 83033964) equipped with a STCON7
electrode (OHAUS, 30080693) calibrated with potassium chloride
conductivity standards. For each lithium salt, three independent solu-
tion replicates (n = 3) were prepared. Conductivity values are reported
in μS per cm at 25 °C.
