Some halogenometalate species have been observed to have formed spontaneously during spectroelectrochemical studies in ionic liquids. For example, [MoCl ] (which is hydrolyzed in water, is coordinated by solvent in polar solvents, and has salts that are insoluble in non-polar solvents) can only be observed in basic (X(A1C13) < 0.5 chloroaluminate ionic liquids [1]. FFowever, this work has been directed at the measurement of electrochemical data, rather than exploitation of the ionic liquids as solvents for synthesis [2]. It has been shown that the tetrachloroa-luminate ion will act as a bidentate ligand in acidic X(A1C13) > 0.5 chloroaluminate ionic liquids, forming [M(AlCl4)3] ions [3]. This was also the result of the spontaneous formation of the complexes, rather than a deliberate attempt to synthesize them.

This review focuses on the structural stability of transition metal oxides to lithium insertion/extraction rather than on their electrochemical performance. The reader should refer to cited publications to access relevant electrochemical data. Because of the vast number of papers on lithium metal oxides that have been published since the 1970s, only a selected list of references has been provided. 

This review is concerned with the formation of cation radicals and anion radicals from sulfoxides and sulfones. First the clear-cut evidence for this formation is summarized (ESR spectroscopy, pulse radiolysis in particular) followed by a discussion of the mechanisms of reactions with chemical oxidants and reductants in which such intermediates are proposed. In this section, the reactions of a-sulfonyl and oc-sulfinyl carbanions in which the electron transfer process has been proposed are also dealt with. The last section describes photochemical reactions involving anion and cation radicals of sulfoxides and sulfones. The electrochemistry of this class of compounds is covered in the chapter written by Simonet1 and is not discussed here some electrochemical data will however be used during the discussion of mechanisms (some reduction potential values are given in Table 1). 

In principle, a measurement of upon water adsorption gives the value of the electrode potential in the UHV scale. In practice, the interfacial structure in the UHV configuration may differ from that at an electrode interface. Thus, instead of deriving the components of the electrode potential from UHV experiments to discuss the electrochemical situation, it is possible to proceed the other way round, i.e., to examine the actual UHV situation starting from electrochemical data. The problem is that only relative quantities are measured in electrochemistry, so that a comparison with UHV data requires that independent data for at least one metal be available. Hg is usually chosen as the reference (model) metal for the reasons described earlier. 

One of the most useful applications of standard potentials is in the calculation of equilibrium constants from electrochemical data. The techniques that we develop here can be applied to any kind of reaction, including neutralization and precipitation reactions as well as redox reactions, provided that they can be expressed as the difference of two reduction half-reactions. 

HOWTO CALCULATE EQUILIBRIUM CONSTANTS FROM ELECTROCHEMICAL DATA... 

The procedure for calculating an equilibrium constant from electrochemical data is as follows.

The application of time series techniques to electrochemical data is promising. It is possible to use the ARIMA analysis to study the behavior of a single coating system. It is also possible to use time series analysis to rank coatings with respect to the properties under study. 

The Volta potential is defined as the difference between the electrostatic outer potentials of two condensed phases in equilibrium. The measurement of this and related quantities is performed using a system of voltaic cells. This technique, which in some applications is called the surface potential method, is one of the oldest but still frequently used experimental methods for studying phenomena at electrified solid and hquid surfaces and interfaces. The difficulty with the method, which in fact is common to most electrochemical methods, is lack of molecular specificity. However, combined with modem surface-sensitive methods such as spectroscopy, it can provide important physicochemical information. Even without such complementary molecular information, the voltaic cell method is still the source of much basic electrochemical data. 

The great advantage of STM is the ability to do in situ structural studies on electrode surfaces. However, STM does not yield chemical information. STM-derived structural information is confined to a very small area on the electrode, typically 1000 Ax 1000 A, so meaningful correlations between the stmctnral data and electrochemical data can be done only on single-crystal surfaces. The close proximity of the tip to the electrode surface can distort kinetic data acqnired by an STM.
