Abstract

Here we describe the cation reduction and comproportionation as novel routes to synthesize electrolytes for rechargeable Mg-ion batteries. Reduction of the ammonium cation in [HNMe31+][HCB11H111−] with metallic Mg affords the halide free carborane salt [Mg2+][HCB11H111−]2. Comproportionation of [Mg2+][HCB11H111−]2 with MgPh2 affords the novel monocationic electrolyte [MgPh1+][HCB11H111−], which reversibly deposits/strips Mg with a remarkable oxidative stability of 4.6 V vs. Mg0/+2.
