Abstract
^1^H, ^6^Li and ^13^C NMR spectroscopy were used to determine the structure of aggregates formed in mixtures of methyllithium, H~3~CLi, and lithium bromide and iodide in diethyl ether and tetrahydrofuran. From the chemical shifts, the signal intensity distribution and the isotope shifts observed for partially deuterated systems, it was shown that generally tetrameric structures with different halogen contents dominate. For methyllithium–lithium bromide (1:1) in THF a considerable concentration of an H~3~CLiLiBr dimer was found. For the first time, deuterium‐induced ^6^Li isotope shifts over four bonds were observed. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
