Abstract
Electrochemical dissolution of metallic samarium is studied in an acetonitrile solution containing 0.1 M tetraethylammonium bromide and 0.9 M acetylacetone. The study is performed in an argon atmosphere, at a constant voltage of 3 V and various ratios between the cathode and anode areas. If the cathode area considerably exceeds the anode area, as a result of anodic oxidation of samarium, ions Sm3+ form in solution, undergo reduction to Sm2+, and 20–25 min later generate chelate complex Sm4(AA)8 · 3HAA, which is insoluble in acetonitrile. Simultaneously, Sm3+ interacts with deprotonated acetylacetone. Chelate complex Sm(AA)3 · HAA is extracted from solution. If the anode area exceeds the cathode area, no reduction of Sm3+ to Sm2+ occurs on the cathode, and eventually adducted samariumtris–acetylacetonate Sm(AA)3 · 4HAA is extracted from solution. The composition of the obtained compounds is confirmed by IR and mass spectrometry, thermogravimetry, isothermic heating, and elemental analysis for metal.
