Although no dissociation constants for PS and PBD anions are known in DEE, the dissociation constant for polyisoprenyl lithium ion pair in THF has been reported as 5.10"10 M"1, which is more than 10,000 times smaller than the corresponding dissociation constant for the diphenylalkyl anion (about 5.10"6 M"1).
