Salts for use in nonaqueous electrolytes, and electrolytes and electromical generators including such materials. An exemplary compound for use as an electrolyte in an electrochemical cell has the formula <IMAGE> wherein Mn+ is an ion of Li, Na, K, Ca, Mg, Zn, or Al; each of the moieties Y, Y', and Y'', are>SO2 or>CO; the groups R and R' are separate halogenated alkyl groups of 1-4 carbon atoms, respectively or are joined together to constitute a unitary halogenated alkylene radical of from 2-4 carbon atoms linking Y and Y' and forming a ring structure which includes R, R', Y, Y', and the carbon atom to which Y and Y' are attached; the group R'' is an alkyl or haloalkyl radical of 1-4 carbon atoms or a halogenated phenyl group; n is an integer of 1-3 depending on the identity of the metal M; and metal ion Mn+ is an ion of Li, Na, Ca, Mg, Zn or Al when each of the Y-R, Y'-R', and Y''-R'' groups is SO2CF3. In another exemplary compound, the -Y''-R'' group is replaced by Z, which is an electron-withdrawing substituent selected from the group consisting of -C(O)H, -NO2, -CN, -F, and perfluorinated alkyls and aryls containing no more than 8 carbons. |
