Electrocatalytic homocoupling of PhBr and
PhCH 2 Br can be carried out in the presence of
NiCl(bpy) complex in [bmim]Tf 2 N, as shown in
Eq. 6.10 [39].

Interestingly, Pd nanoparticles generated
cathodically in ionic liquid were shown to be a
highly effective ligand-free catalyst for the
coupling of aryl halides [40].
Electroreductive dehalogenation of
vic -dihalides using a Co(II)salen complex in
[bmim]BF 4 has also been achieved, as shown in
Eq. 6.11 [41]. The product isolation is much
easier compared to the similar dehalogenation
