Ether-solvated contact and separated ion pairs (CIP and SIP) for two lithium reagents, tris(trimethylsilyl)methyllithium (1) and bis(3,5-bistrifluoromethylphenylthio)methyllithium (2), have been characterized and observed for the first time under conditions of slow exchange by NMR spectroscopy, and barriers to interconversion have been measured. A Saunders isotope perturbation experiment was used to support identification of the CIP and SIP species for 2.
