In the preparation of aluminum chloride by the action of hydrogen chloride on the metal, hydrogen chloride is adsorbed and can be recovered to the extent of about 9 cc. per gram. After sublimation in nitrogen and re-sublimation in hydrogen chloride, however, the amount of adsorption is smaller and irregular. The adsorbed gas is not removed by a stream of nitrogen at room temperature. The activities in the Friedel and Crafts reaction of various preparations of aluminum chloride and of ferric chloride and of mixtures of these were determined; the order of decreasing activity was found to be as follows: a mixture of aluminum chloride and ferric chloride, aluminum chloride made by the action of hydrogen chloride on aluminum, aluminum chloride made by the action of chlorine on aluminum, a mixture of aluminum chloride and partially reduced ferric chloride, ferric chloride, and partially reduced ferric chloride. The most striking result of the measurements is that although ferric chloride alone has an activity of only about one-third that of aluminum chloride, an approximately equimolecular mixture of the two has an activity somewhat greater than that of pure aluminum chloride.

The electrochemical behavior of vanadium(II) was examined in the 66.7-33.3 mole percent aluminum chloride-1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride molten salt containing dissolved VCl2 at 353 K. Voltammetry experiments revealed that V(II) could be electrochemically oxidized to V(III) and V(IV). However at slow scan rates the V(II)/V(III) electrode reaction is complicated by the rapid precipitation of V(III) as VCl3. The reduction of V(II) occurs at potentials considerably negative of the Al(III)/Al electrode reaction, and Al-V alloys cannot be electrodeposited from this melt. However electrodeposition experiments conducted in VCl2-saturated melt containing the additive, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate, resulted in Al-V alloys. The vanadium content of these alloys increased with increasing cathodic current density or more negative applied potentials. X-ray analysis of Al-V alloys that were electrodeposited on a rotating copper wire substrate indicated that these alloys did not form or contain an intermetallic compound, but were non-equilibrium or metastable solid solutions. The chloride-pitting corrosion properties of these alloys were examined in aqueous NaCl by using potentiodynamic polarization techniques. Alloys containing ~10 a/o vanadium exhibited a pitting potential that was 0.3 V positive of that for pure aluminum.
