Alkali metals are soluble in organic media when a macrocyclic complexing agent is used in order to drive the dissolution process by formation of complexed metal cations and alkali metal anions, a highly reducing and unusual species. Our previous spectroscopic investigations however suggest that the species exists as a paired form and in the form of higher aggregates in solution. If this is indeed the case, it would have large consequences for understanding, further development and application of alkali metal solutions. The instrument NIMROD provides the unique opportunity to investigate ion pairing and aggregation due to its high resolution in the range of low scattering angle Q.
