✦ Synopsis
While the electrochemistry of organic compounds has been studied in a wide range of protonic and aprotic solvents, relatively little is known of the electrochemistry or, indeed, the chemistry of organic molecules in molten salt media. This communication reports the electrochemical behaviour of a series of polynuclear hydrocarbons in a low melting point molten salt system: aluminium trichloride plus sodium chloride and potassium chloride. A similar salt mixture has been the medium for some elegant, novel chemistry reported by Sundermeyer 1,2.
