To what extent do the structure and dynamics of the α‐sulfonyl carbanion l ⊖ depend on the gegenion? As shown by the X‐ray structure analyses of the lithium‐ and tetrabutylammonium salts, these are present in the crystal as a dimer ( 1 ⊖ /Li ⊕ · 2THF) 2 with an eight‐membered (SOLiO) 2 ring and as a monomer 1 ⊕ /NBu 4 with discrete cations and anions, respectively. In contrast, the C α S rotation barrier of 1 ⊖ is hardly influenced by NBu 4 ⊕(in THF or DMSO) and K ⊕ (in DMSO).
