Abstract

Vanadium metal dissolves rapidly in a cell Pt/X₂ in CH₃CN/V (anode) (X = Cl, Br, I) under applied voltages of 5–50 V. The solution phase yields crystalline VCl₂. 2CH₃CN, VBr₂. CH₃CN, or VI₂; the acetonitrile adducts decompose to VX₂ on heating in vacuo. Overall yields of VX₂, based on weight of metal dissolved, are 80–90%.
