5. Reference potential systems were not available in that early work, and it was common to use a Pt pseudo-reference electrode. More recent work (ref 19 below) has established the ferrocene/ferrocinium redox couple as a useful reference electrode in ionic liquids and discussed reference electrodes based on this.
