Abstract

The electrolytic reduction of [OsCl₆]^2- in the basic aluminum chloride-1-methyl-3-ethylimidazolium chloride (AlCl₃-MeEtimCl) room temperature ionic liquid produces [OsCl₆]^3-. The [OsCl₆]^2- + e- ⇌[OsCl₆]^3- electrode reaction exhibits reversible behavior at a glassy carbon electrode in this solvent and appears reversible at this electrode in pure molten MeEtimCl at 103°C as well. The formal electrode potential for this redox system in the 49.0/51.0 mole percent (m/o) AlCl₃-MeEtimCl melt is approximately -0.31V vs. Al in the 66.7/33.3 m/o ionic liquid. The average Stokes-Einstein products for the [OsCl₆]^2- and [OsCl₆]^3- ions are 6.6 x 10^-8 and 4.7 x 10^–8 g cm s^-2, respectively, at 40°C and are slightly larger than those previously found for the corresponding iridium complexes. Absorption spectra for [OsCl₆]^2- and [OsCl₆]^3- in basic AlCl₃-MeEtimCl are similar to the spectra of these complexes in aqueous HC1 solution, but seem to be less distorted. Molar absorptivities for the [OsCl₆]^3- ion are reported for the first time.
