Abstract
Described is a salt of the general formula: Mg2+(Lx)6(PF6)2 wherein each L is a ligand selected from dichloromethane, a cyclic ether, or a nitrile of the general formula R—C≡N. The method of making the salt comprises the steps: providing Mg metal, activating the Mg metal in a first dry solution comprising a first ligand solution (L1), treating the dry solution of activated Mg metal and L1 with NOPF6 in a second dry solution comprising a second ligand solution (L2), heating the treated Mg metal solution removing residual solvent under vacuum, and recrystallizing the remaining solid to form the salt wherein Lx comprises a mixture of L1 and L2. The salt can be used as the salt in an electrolyte, or as an additive to an electrolyte, in a cell or battery.
