Abstract

Superalkalis have lower ionization energy than that of alkali atoms and superhalogens have higher electron affinity than that of halogen atoms. This property can be exploited to improve the efficacy of redox reactions that are routinely used in the scientific and industrial laboratories. Some of these reactions are theoretically studied and their thermodynamic parameters are analyzed. Alternatives to these reactions with the use of superalkalis and superhalogens are suggested by assuming similar behavior to that of their alkali metal or halogen analogues. Particularly, the change in reaction enthalpy, Gibbs free energy and their electrochemical potential are compared.
