Abstract: Electrochemical properties of Mo₂WO₂(O₂CCH₃)₆(H₂O)₃(CF₃SO₃)₂ and W₃O₂(O₂CCH₃)₆(H₂O)₃(CF₃SO₃)₂ clusters in 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (EMIBF₄) ionic liquid was investigated. Cyclic voltammograms using a platinum electrode indicated that deposition of metal had occurred. Constant potential electrolysis of Mo₂WO₂(O₂CCH₃)₆(H₂O)₃(CF₃SO₃)₂ at -1.9 V using a platinum foil electrode was performed. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) confirmed that deposition had occurred.
