title: Gas phase and solution structures of 1-methoxyallenyllithium.
abstract: A combined computational and (13)C NMR study was used to determine the solution structures of 1-methoxyallenyllithium. The gas phase calculations indicated that this species is aggregated as a hexamer. The NMR spectra in THF solution, together with the calculated aggregation energies and chemical shifts, are consistent with a dimer-tetramer equilibrium.
