97. In solution, lithium organocuprates can exist as solvent separated ion pairs (SSIP) or contact ion pairs (CIP). The latter are formed in solvents such as diethyl ether and show a higher reactivity. A further complication is that CIPs can undergo aggregation. For an excellent review that highlights these effects see Gschwind, R. M. Chem. Rev. 2008, 108, 3029-3053
98. Complex equilibria between the different types of aggregation can also exist Khiem, C. N. D.; Thach, L. N.; Iwasaki, T.; Kambe, N.; Boguslavskiy, A. A.; Pratt, L. M. J. Phys. Chem. A 2012, 116, 9027-9032
