The electro-syntheses of the anhydrous metal(II) chlorides od Fe, Co, and Ni are described.The appropriate metal is present in the form of a sacrificial anode and the reaction is carried out in an undivided cell with ethanolic solutions of hydrogen chloride.The primary products, MCl2 . n EtOH (1 - 3), are obtained in yields of 83 - 100percent based upon the current consumed and are converted into 4 - 6 upon reaction with THF, into 7 - 12 upon reaction with triorganophosphanes and into the tetrachlorometallate(II) complexes 13 - 15 upon reaction with Cl.Electrochemical reduction of nickel(II) chloride and triphenylphosphane (1 : 3) in THF leads to the formation of chlorotris(triphenylphosphane)nickel(I) (18) in 65percent yield.
