Natural abundance 13C spectra of solvent coordinated to the cation have been observed in solutions of Mg(II) and Al(III) salts in alcohols. Carbon shielding changes induced by cations resemble those induced by electronegative substituents; a sign reversal between the β and γ positions is found in both instances. Solvent exchange rates correspond to those found by 1H n.m.r.; this confirms that whole molecule exchange is dominant. Selective relaxation of the solvation shell signals at low temperatures reflects differences in conformational mobility within the solvation complex.

The proton magnetic resonance spectra of boron trifluoride – methanol solutions in sulfur dioxide, with methanol in excess, are interpreted in terms of equilibria between methanol, methanol·BF3, and (methanol)2·BF3. The two methyl peaks observed in the spectra at low temperatures may be attributed to methyl groups in free and complexed methanol (i.e. methanol in which the oxygen is coordinated by BF3).

19F nuclear magnetic resonance (n.m.r.) has been used to study the reactions occurring in the systems SbCl5–SbF5–SO2ClF, SO2Cl2–SbF5–SO2ClF, COF2–SbF5–SO2ClF, COF2–AsF5–SO2ClF, and COClF–SbF5–SO2ClF. Ionization occurs in SbCl5–SbF5–SO2ClF, yielding antimony chloro- and chloro-fluorocations and antimony polyfluoroanions. Donor-acceptor complexes are formed between SbF5 and SO2Cl2, COF2 or COClF at low temperatures and also between AsF5 and COF2. In all the complexes the ligand is oxygen-bonded. At higher temperatures halogen exchange and ionization occurs in SO2Cl2–SbF5–SO2ClF and COClF–SbF5–SO2ClF giving SO2ClF and COF2 complexes, respectively, together with antimony cations and polyfluoroanions. The alkyl chloride –SbF5 reaction is also shown to give chlorine-containing cations of antimony.
