Abstract: There are provided compositions comprising a first compound selected from the group consisting of compounds of formulas (Ib), (III), (V), and (VII), and a second compound selected from the group consisting of compounds of formulas (IIb), (IV), (VI), and (VIII): Various chemical entities can be used for R4 to R11. These compositions can be particularly useful as anti-static agents or as electron activable precursors to a redox couple.

Abstract: There is provided a process for preparing compounds of formula M3M1A2. The process comprises reacting a compound of formula M2M1A2 with a compound of formula M3X2, in the presence of at least one coordinating solvent. M1 can be chosen from B3+, Al3+, Ga3+, In3+, Tl3+, Fe3+, and Au3+; M2 can be chosen from Li+, Na+, K+, Cs+, (T1)3Si—, and N(T2)4+; M3 can be chosen from Cu+, Ag+, Li+, Na+, K+, Cs+, Rb+, Fr+, Au+, and Hg+; A can be chosen from S and Se; and X2 can be chosen from Cl?, Br?, I?, F?, CH3COO?, NO3?, and CN?. Such compounds can be used for various purposes in the field of electrochemistry.

Abstract: There is provided a composition comprising a first compound chosen from compounds of formulas (I) and (III) and a second compound chosen from compounds of formulas (II) and (IV): A-S?M+??(III) A-S—S-A??(IV) Various chemical entities can be used for R1 to R4, A, M, and Z. This composition can be particularly useful as a redox couple.

Abstract: There are provided compounds represented by formula (I): in which R1 is F, Cl, —N(R5)2 or —CN and Q+ is selected among various organic cations that include an heterocyle. These compounds are useful as electrolytes, ionic liquids or molten salts.
