Abstract
The rate constants for the electron exchange between sodium naphthalenide and naphthalene and between potassium naphthalenide and naphthalene in tetrahydrofuran and 1,2-dimethoxyethane have been determined by paramagnetic resonance techniques. Addition of small amounts of naphthalene leads to broadening of the individual hyperfine components. Larger amounts of naphthalene cause the hyperfine components to merge into a single peak with broad tails. In the case of $K^{+}C_{10}H^{-}_{8}$ in 1,2-Dimethoxyethane it has been possible to add quantities of naphthalene such that exchange that exchange narrowing begins to take place. The rate constants, for the bimolecular exchange, vary between $6.2 \times 10^{6}$ liters/mole sec and $1.2 \times 10^{8}$ liters/mole sec.
