Abstract
The electrochemical deposition of magnesium was investigated in the ionic liquids l-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (EMIm BF 4 ), 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium triflate (BMP TfO), and 1 -butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide (BMP Tf 2 N). The electrochemical window of the imidazolium ionic liquid was insufficient for reduction of magnesium triflate, whereas the BMP systems can be used for the reduction of several magnesium salts. Studies of the reduction of other magnesium salts were carried out in nonaqueous solvents such as propylene carbonate for comparison with the work in ionic liquids. Stripping peaks for magnesium were observed in solutions of phenylmagnesium chloride in BMP Tf 2 N at elevated temperatures (150°C).
