AlCl3-metal chlorides

This is of course not the case when working with room temperature ionic liquid systems. Electrochemical and spectroscopic studies of cobalt, copper,and nickel, have been carried out in the AlCl3-butylpyridinium chloride molten salt system. The direct current and pulsed current electrodeposition of Ni-Al alloys has also been shown in acidic AlClj-butylpyridinium chloride ionic liquids. This particular alloy has also been shown to be successful in AlCl3-[C2-mim]Cl as have Co-Al and Cu-Al. Electrochemical techniques can also be used to calculate the diffusion coefficients of metal ions. Table 21.2.6 shows the calculated diffusion coefficients and stokes-Einstein products of cobalt(II), copper(I), nickel(ll) and zinc(ll) in the 40-60 mol% [C2-mim]Cl-AlCl3 ionic liquid. 

Early in their work on molten salt electrolytes for thermal batteries, the Air Force Academy researchers surveyed the aluminium electroplating literature for electrolyte baths that might be suitable for a battery with an aluminium metal anode and chlorine cathode. They found a 1948 patent describing ionically conductive mixtures of AICI3 and 1-ethylpyridinium halides, mainly bromides [6]. Subsequently, the salt 1-butylpyridinium chloride/AlCl3 (another complicated pseudo-binary)... 

The first known Bi cations [43] were synthesized in acidic NaAlCl4/AlCl3 melts by reaction of Bi metal and BiCl3 with AICI3 as the chloride acceptor or by direct fusion of Bi metal and BiCl3 as shown in Eqs. 1-3 ... 

The first category of single-replacement reactions is one metal replacing another in a compound. Aluminum must replace nickel in NiCl2 to produce nickel metal, Nifo), and aluminum chloride (Al3+ + Cl" = AlCl3). Place the formula for aluminum chloride and the symbol for nickel metal in the blanks, and balance. The completed equation is ...
