摘要
The superoxide ion, which can be electrochemically generated from oxygen in dry room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs), is a safe and mild oxidizing agent that has several potential applications. We have shown that the superoxide ion in RTIL can be used to destroy hexachlorobenzene (HCB), which represents a serious environmental problem. The electrochemically generated superoxide ion was also used to oxidize benzyl alcohol and benzhydrol to benzoic acid and benzophenone, respectively.
