Description

The formation of Na- from K, Rb, Cs, or Li ethylamide solutions containing small amounts of Na+ has been observed by pulse radiolysis. In K, Rb, or Cs solutions evidence is presented which shows that the production of Na- occurs via the corresponding alkali anions K-, Rb-, or Cs-. However solutions containing Li behave much differently and indicate that Na+ is 'complexed' or associated with Li+ ions. Probable reaction mechanisms are discussed. (author)
