The nature of anionic alkali metals in solution is traditionally thought to be "gaslike" and unperturbed. In contrast to this noninteracting picture, we present experimental and computational data herein that support ion pairing in alkalide solutions. Concentration dependent ionic conductivity, dielectric spectroscopy, and neutron scattering results are consistent with the presence of superalkali-alkalide ion pairs in solution, whose stability and properties have been further investigated by DFT ...[more]
