Shedding light on the structure and solvation state of lithium compounds in aligned solution: The residual quadrupolar coupling of 7Li in a range of lithium complexes due to the interaction of the electric field gradient (shown in its graphical tensor form) with the alignment in a stretched polymer gel has been investigated using NMR spectroscopy. The preferred orientation of the molecules in the anisotropic environment is illustrated in the background. More information can be found in the Research Article by M. John and co-workers (DOI: 10.1002/chem.202203995).
