Abstract:Anionic lithium-containing species were predicted to impact ionic liquid-based electrochemical applications but have hitherto never been isolated from ionic liquid systems. Here, we report the first representatives of this class of compounds, inochloridolithates, comprising [LiCl 2 ] − and [Li 2 Cl 3 ] − polyanions from ionothermal reactions. Such compounds are obtained at moderate temperatures with imidazolium-based ionic liquids and LiCl. The addition of an auxiliary ammonium salt enhances the lattice energy… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
