Electrochemical Studies of Sulfur Oxychlorides.

Abstract

The electrochemistry of thionyl chloride has been studied at glassy carbon electrodes in dimethylformamide with tetrabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate as supporting electrolyte. Techniques employed were normal and reverse pulse voltammetry, rotating ring-disk voltammetry, coulometry and nuclear magnetic resonance. The reactions taking place during the reduction of thionyl chloride in dimethylformamide are probably best represented by the solvation reaction, SOCl2 + 2DMF yields SO.2DMF(2+) + 2 Cl(-) and the electrochemical reaction, SO.2DMF(2+) + 2e yields SO where the product, SO, may be solvated by DMF and can be reoxidized back to the initial reactant.
