Preparation of a Highly Fluorophilic Phosphonium Salt and its Use in a Fluorous Anion-Exchanger Membrane with High Selectivity for Perfluorinated Acids

Fluorous solvents are the most nonpolar, nonpolarizable phases known, whereas ions are inherently polar. This makes it difficult to create salts that are soluble in a fluorous solvent. Here we present the synthesis and characterization of a new fluorophilic phosphonium salt, tris{3,5-bis[(perfluorooctyl)propyl]phenyl}methylphosphonium methyl sulfate. The salt has a solubility of at least 14 mM in perfluoro(perhydrophenanthrene), perfluoro(methylcyclohexane), and perfluorohexanes. It also shows immediate potential for use as a phase-transfer catalyst in fluorous biphasic catalysis, but in this work it is used as an anion-exchanger site in the first potentiometric fluorous-membrane anion-selective electrode. The membrane sensor exhibited the exceptional selectivity of 3.9 × 10¹⁰ to 1 for perfluorooctanesulfonate over chloride, and of 2.5 × 10⁷ to 1 for perfluorooctanoate over chloride. With improvements to the sensor's detection limit and lifetime, it has the potential to be an attractive alternative to the expensive, time-consuming methods currently employed for measurement of perfluorinated acids.     

Mechanism of copper underpotential deposition at Pt(<Emphasis Type="Italic">hkl</Emphasis>)-electrodes: Quantum-chemical modelling

Mechanism of copper underpotential deposition at stepped faces of platinum single crystals Pt(hkl) is studied using cyclic voltammetry, scanning probe microscopy, and quantum-chemical modelling. It is shown that the first stage of UPD is one-dimensional decoration of the (100)- or (110)-orientated steps, then copper monolayer forms at (111)-terraces. The final stage is the secondary step decoration. Quantum-chemical modelling, with the using of long-distance potentials of the Cu-Pt and Cu-Cu pair interactions, allows estimating the energy of copper adsorption at different structure elements of the substrate (steps, kinks, terraces) and revealing the succession of the adatom monolayer formation; it also provides additional information for the identifying of the nature of voltametric peaks for different stages of the copper adsorption-desorption.

Phosphaniminato-Komplexe Seltener Erden. Synthese und Kristallstrukturen von [M2(C5H5)3(NPPh3)3] · 3 C7H8 mit M = Y,Dy und Er. Magnetische Eigenschaften von [Dy2(C5H5)3(NPPh3)3] · 3 C7H8

Phosphoraneiminato Complexes of Rare Earths Elements. Syntheses and Crystal Structures of [M₂(C₅H₅)₃(NPPh₃)₃] · 3 C₇H₈ mit M = Y, Dy, and Er. Magnetic Properties of [Dy₂(C₅H₅)₃(NPPh₃)₃] · 3 C₇H₈ The title compounds have been prepared by reactions of the cyclopentadienidchlorides [M(C₅H₅)₂Cl]₂ with LiNPPh₃ in boiling toluene, and they were characterized by crystal structure determinations. All three compounds crystallize isotypicly with one another within the orthorhombic space group Pbca with Z = 8. Two of the three phosphoraneiminato groups link the metal atoms via μ₂-N atoms to almost planar M₂N₂ four-membered rings. The third NPPh₃^– group is terminally bonded. The magnetic susceptibility of [Dy₂(C₅H₅)₃(NPPh₃)₃] · 3 C₇H₈ has been determined (SQUID magnetometer) in the temperature range 1.7 K–300 K at magnetic fields between 0.01 T and 5 T. Calculations based on a cubic ligand field model lead to a satisfactory simulation with reasonable ligand field parameters. The inclusion of isotropic intramolecular exchange interactions in the model does not improve the fit, so that in the framework of the applied model no hints to a spin-spin coupling within the dinuclear units are obtained.

Synthesis and Crystal Structures of the Phosphoraneiminato Complexes [AlCl₂(NPEt₃)]₂, [GaI₂(NPEt₃)]₂, and [GaI₂(NPPh₃)]₂ [AlCl₂(NPEt₃)]₂ ( 1 ) is made according to the known method by reaction of aluminium trichloride with the silylated phosphaneimine Me₃SiNPEt₃ in acetonitrile; it is isolated as colourless, moisture sensitive crystals. The phosphoraneiminato complexes [GaI₂(NPEt₃)]₂ ( 2 ) and [GaI₂(NPPh₃)]₂ ( 3 ), on the other hand, are obtained by redox reactions as pale yellow crystals; ( 2 ) of “gallium(I) iodide” with Me₃SiNPEt₃ in toluene and ( 3 ) of gallium with N-iodine triphenylphosphaneimine, INPPh₃, in tetrahydrofuran. 1 and 3 are characterized spectroscopically and by crystal structure determinations; 2 is characterized only crystallographically. 1 : Space group Pbca, Z = 4; lattice dimensions at –70 °C: a = 1232.6(2), b = 1341.1(2), c = 1393.4(3) pm, R₁ = 0.0315. 1 forms centrosymmetric molecules in which the Al atoms are linked via Al–N bonds of the two (NPEt₃^–) groups; with 185.0 and 184.4 pm these bonds are of almost the same lengths. 2 : Space group Pbca, Z = 4; lattice dimensions at –80 °C: a = 1380.0(1), b = 1311.0(1), c = 1429.1(1) pm, R₁ = 0.0273. 2 crystallizes isotypically with 1 . The gallium atoms of the centrosymmetric Ga₂N₂ four-membered ring are connected with Ga–N distances of equal length (190.9 pm). 3 · THF: Space group P2₁2₁2₁, Z = 2; lattice dimensions at –140 °C: a = 1494.6(1), b = 1536.3(1), c = 974.6(1) pm, R₁ = 0.0382. 3 forms dimeric molecules in which the gallium atoms are linked via the N atoms of the (NPPh₃^–) groups to form a non-planar Ga₂N₂ four-membered ring of C₂ symmetry with Ga–N bonds of equal lengths – within standard deviations – of 194.7 pm. The phosphoraneiminato groups are arranged in a synperiplanar way.
