| Semiquinone radical anions are prototype compounds for contact ion pair formation with metal counter cations. In order to investigate the still open question whether bulky alkyl groups can sterically interfere, diphenoquinone derivatives 0 =C(RC=CH)2C=C(HC=CR)2C= 0 with R = C(CÜ3)3, CH(CH3)2 and CH3 have been selected and the following ESR/ENDOR results are obtained for the alkaline metal cations: The tetrakis(terr-butyl)-substituted radical anion only adds Li® and Na®, while K* forms no ion pair. The 3,3',5,5'-tetra(isopropyl)diphenoquinone radical anion is accessible to all cations Me®, although Rb® and Cs® seem to be present solvent-separated in solution. The tetramethyl-substituted radical anion unfortunately polyme rizes rapidly. Additional information concerns the ESR/ENDOR proof for ion triple radical cation formation [Li® M*e Li®]'®, or the difference in the coupling constants upon Me® docking at one 6e O=C group, suggesting that about 87% of the spin density is located in the cation-free molecular half of the diphenoquinone radical anion. Based on the wealth of ESR/ENDOR information, crystallization of the contact ion pairs and their structural characte rization should be attempted.

| Tetraphenylbutatriene is reduced under aprotic conditions to its ESR/ENDOR-spectro-scopically characterized radical anion and to its dianion, with both electron transfers quasi-reversible according to cyclovoltammetric measurements. The alkali cation salts, the red con tact ion pair [(H ^C ^C j K N a^H iC O C H iC H iO C H ^d and the dark violet contact ion triple [(H3C6)4C4" ' KLi^H ^CO CH iCIU O CH O ?^ can be prepared by single electron reduction at a sodium metal mirror or by twofold de-protonation of l,l,4,4-tetraphenylbutyne-2 using lithium-/;-butyl. Their single crystal structures as well as that of the parent acetylene have been determined at low temperatures. The essential structural changes observed are the twisting of both molecular halves (H5C6)2CC relative to each other with increasing negative charge. The simultaneously resulting bond alternancy >C = C = C = C< — >Ce -C = C -C < within the cumulene chain is discussed based on MNDO calculations for the structures determined.
