Abstract
The 1H n.m.r. spectra of carbazole nitranion, 4,5-methylene- and 9,10-dihydro-4,5-methylene-phenanthrene carbanions with various alkali metal cations have been analyzed in terms of chemical shifts and coupling constants. Chemical shifts of the anions depend upon cation and solvent and are related to the type of ion pairs present. The 7Li n.m.r. data indicate that Li is associated with the nitrogen of carbazole nitranion whereas with the 4,5-methylenephenanthrene carbanions, Li appears to be located in the π-cloud of the anions and associated equally with all carbons in the anion. The results are discussed in terms of the types of ion pairs present and the association of cation with anion.
