β¦ Synopsis
NMR specrra have been measured of the Li", Na+ and r;' ion pairs of the indenyl carbanion in 1,2_dimethoxyethane and tetsahydrofuran as a function of temperatzre.
The changes of the chemical shifts are explained in terms of the detailed structure of the ion pairs. The results in both solvents strongly suggest that in indenyl-Lif the counterion is predominantly located over the six-membered ring. In THF the preferred position of the cations Na+ and K+ in the.contact ion pairs seems to be the five-membered ring.

## Abstract The complex character of the temperature dependence of the ^1^H NMR chemical shifts of indenylβlithium and βsodium in dimethoxyethane is explained. It is shown that the cation causes a polarisation of the Cο£ΏH bonds and thus influences the proton shifts of the anion, both directly by its
