Organic Chloroaluminate Ambient Temperature Molten Salts

  • Chapter
Molten Salt Chemistry

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIC,volume 202))

Abstract

Chemistry in a class of ambient temperature organic chloroaluminates is described. The emphasis is on electrochemical studies, and is concerned primarily with the systems N-(1-butyl)-pyridinium chloride or 1-methyl-3-ethylimidazolium chloride mixed with aluminum chloride. The equilibria existing in these solvents are described, and the definitions of acidic, basic and neutral melts are stressed. Examples indicating the variation of the electrochemistry with the acid-base character of the solvent are emphasized. Certain solutes show no change in the electrochemistry with acidity, others show profound changes, and these are interpreted in terms of interactions of the solutes with the solvent. Both inorganic and organic solutes are considered, and recent work on electroactive polymers in the molten salt systems is described.
