Alkali metal salts of complex anions having heterocyclic substituents are described. The compounds are those having the formula: ZMRxQy wherein Z is lithium or sodium, M is Zn, Cd, B, Al, Ga, Sn (stannous), P or As, the Rs are certain organic radicals, the Qs are certain heterocyclic substituents, x is zero or a positive integer, and y is a positive integer, subject to the provisos that the sum of x plus y is equal to one plus the valence of the metal M and that, when M is boron, y is one, two or three. Also described are electrolyte compositions which may be used as such in electric cells comprising: (a) organic solvents selected from the group consisting of inertly substituted and unsubstituted ethers, esters, sulfones, organic sulfites, organic sulfates, organic nitrites and organic nitro compounds; and (b) electrolytically active alkali metal salts including alkali metal complex anion salts described above. |
