Abstract
The electrochemical behavior of the tantalum mono-, di-, and trioxofluoride complexes in the equimolar NaCl–KCl melt is studied. The trioxofluoride TaO3F2– complexes are shown to discharge at the potentials that are more negative than those of alkali metal cations; that is, they are electrochemically inactive against the background of the equimolar mixture of sodium and potassium chlorides.
