Abstract

The benchmark magnesium electrolyte, [Mg2Cl3]+ [AlPh4]-, can be prepared in a 100% atom economic fashion by a ligand exchange reaction between AlCl3 and two molar equivalents of MgPh2. NMR and vibrational spectroscopy indicate that the reported approach results in a simpler ionic composition than the more widely adopted synthesis route of combining PhMgCl with AlCl3.
