Abstract: The invention relates to organoaluminum electrotyles for the electrolytic deposition of aluminum which are characterized in that they consist of KF . 2 AlEt.sub.3 (A), KF . 2 AlMe.sub.3 (B) and MF . 2 Al(iBu).sub.3 (C), wherein M=sodium or potassium or a mixture of both, in a molar ratio of A:B:C of from 2:1:1 to 7:1:1. The organoaluminum electrolytes are dissolved in from 2 to 4.5 moles, based on the amount of MF employed, of an aromatic hydrocarbon which is liquid at 0.degree. C. The invention further relates to a process for the electrolytic deposition of aluminum on electrically conductive materials by using said electrolytes.

Abstract: The invention relates to organoaluminum electrolytes for the electrolytic deposition of high-purity aluminum, which are characterized in that they contain mixtures of organoaluminum complex compounds of the type MF.2 AlR.sub.3 (A), wherein M represents potassium or mixtures of K with a maximum of about 15% by mole of sodium, as well as trialkylaluminum AlR.sub.3 (B) which has not been complexed to an alkali metal fluoride in a molar ratio of A:B of from 4:0.6 to 4:2, as well as a polyfunctional Lewis base of the type R'-OCH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 -OR" (C) in a molar ratio of B:C of from 1:0.5 to 1:1. The organyl radicals R in A are ethyl groups (Et), methyl groups (Me) and iso-butyl groups (iBu) in a molar ratio of Et:Me:iBu as 3:m:n, wherein m and n are numerical values of between 1.1 and 0 and the sum (m+n) is from 0.75 to 1.4. As the solvent for said electrolytes there are used from 3 to 4.5 moles, relative to the amount of alkali metal fluoride employed, of an aromatic hydrocarbon which is liquid at 0.degree. C.

Abstract: Disclosed are electrolytes and processes for the metal-plating of metallic materials, and more specifically low-alloy high-strength steels, which processes are characterized in that adhesion-bonding layers of iron, iron and nickel, nickel, cobalt, copper or alloys of said metals or Sn-Ni alloys are electrodeposited on said metallic materials from non-aqueous electrolytes, and then aluminum is electrodeposited thereon in a per se known manner.

Abstract: Dicyclopentadienyl iron (ferrocene) is produced directly from iron and cyclopentadiene, or derivatives thereof, by electrolyzing a conductive salt-containing solution of a monomeric cyclopentadiene compound in an inert solvent, between an iron anode and a cathode which is inert to the electrolyte.

Abstract: Process of solubilizing alkali- and alkali-earth metal salts, characterized in that the salts are reacted in the presence of solvents if desired, with open-chain polyethyleneglycoldiethers of the general formulaRO--[CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 O].sub.n R'wherein n = 6 or more and R and R' are identical or different and represent alkyl, aryl or cycloalkyl groups respectively, the polyethyleneglycoldiethers having at least 7 oxygen atoms which are separated from one another each by two carbon atoms. The process can also be used to dissolve alkali metals.

Abstract: Process for reacting an H-acidic organic compound, in which the acidic H-atom is bonded to the organic radical by an oxygen or a sulphur atom, e.g. an alcohol, with a metal having a standard potential which is more positive than -1.66 volts and which at most incompletely reacts with the H-acidic compound under current-free conditions, e.g. Ni, Co, Fe, Mn, Sb, Cu, or Au. The H-acidic compound or a solution thereof is a polar solvent is made conducting by addition of a soluble salt of chlorine, bromine or iodine, and is electrolyzed at a temperature of up to 150.degree. C, using said metal as the anode, for production of the alcoholate.
