Ion-pair formation between a Na+ cation and the [PtCl62-] anion in methanol is observed from195Pt NMR chemical shift trends as well as from molecular dynamics computer simulations. Free energy of association calculations reveal that contact ion pairs (CIPs) are the most favored configuration in methanol, followed by solvent shared ion pairs (SSHIPs). By contrast, such ion-pair formation is not observed for comparable solutions in water.
