Abstract

Abstract: Electrochemical oxidation of metal amalgam electrodes in noncoordinating solvents generates soluble forms of highly active metal ions at the electrode surface that can form very strong complexes with the tetrafluoroborate and perchlorate anions. Oxidation at Cd, Pb, and TI dropping mercury amalgam electrodes in a solution containing dichloromethane and either tetrabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate,[NBu,][PF,], ...
