The radical anion of dimesityltetraketone (ERed, I = -0.40 V) is easily generated in THF by potassium mirror/[2.2.2]-cryptand reduction. Its contact ion pairs with Na⊕, Cs⊕ and Ba⊕⊕ counter cations, prepared in THF solution by single electron transfer from the respective metals, are characterized by their ESR/ENDOR spectra, which exhibit temperature-dependent metal couplings of aNa⊕ = 0.061 mT (190 K), aCs⊕ = 0.021 mT (190 K), and aBa⊕⊕ = 0.145 mT (295 K).

The structurally different radical anions M⊖ of peralkylated 1-sila-2,5-diazacyclopentane-3,4-dithione and of tetrakis(isopropylthio)-p-benzoquinone are generated by reduction with potassium/2.2.2-cryptand under aprotic conditions in THF solution. On addition of Li⊕B(C6H5)4⊖, both form hitherto elusive sulfur-containing contact ion pairs, which are characterized by their ESR/ENDOR spectra.

Probing photoinduced electron transfer (PET) in solution in terms of rate of reaction and reaction free energy is a great challenge in physical chemistry.
