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.

X-Ray scattering measurements of 2.78 and 5.56 molal aqueous solutions of caesium iodide and 2.78 and 6.05 molal lithium iodide were carried out at 293 and 343 K Differences in the radial distribution functions (DRDFs) have been obtained between the caesium iodide and lithium iodide solutions of similar composition, the latter being taken as a reference for the data analysis of the former. The DRDFs show a peak arising from Cs - I contact-ion-pairs at 390 pm for all the caesium iodide solutions. The hydration structure of the caesium and iodide ions has been revealed. Effects of the concentration and temperature on the formation of ion-pairs and on the hydration structure of the ions are discussed

Abstract The Compound 3Ni(NO3)2 -16C6H5NH2 was obtained by crystallization from solutions of Ni(NO3)2 • 6C6H5NH2 -2H2O in aniline. Its crystal structure was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystals are triclinic, space group P1 with lattice constants a = 985.2 pm, ft = 1004.5 pm and c = 2514.3 pm, a = 96.34°, ß = 92.63° and y = 89.82°. The structure shows units of four aniline molecules and two slightly distorted nitrate ions in the coordination sphere of each nickel ion. These units are similar to contact ion pairs in concentrated ionic solutions.

The redox behaviour of aza-substituted naphtho- and anthraquinones, which offer O=C–C=N– chelate tongs for an advantageous five-membered ring metal cation complexation, is investigated by a combination of cyclovoltammetric and ESR/ENDOR spectroscopic measurements. The formation of paramagnetic contact ion pairs like [(quinoline-5,8-semiquinone)·⊖Me⨁]·, with Me⨁ = Li⨁, Na⨁, Tl⨁, or of triple ion radical cations like [(1,4-diazo-9,10-anthrasemiquinone)eMe⨁]·⨁, with Me⨁ = Li⨁, Na⨁ is corroborated both by shifts of the second reduction potential of up to 0,67 V for e.g. quinoline 5,8-quinone upon addition of Li⨁[B(C6H5)4]⊖ to its DMF solution and by the observation of ESR/ENDOR metal couplings.
