Department of The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada DE-6 (2/88) ii ABSTRACT The goal of this study was to develop new superacid systems based on fluorosulfuric acid, HSO3F, (the strongest monoprotonic BrOnsted acid) and metal fluorosulfates capable of acting as Lewis acids. The in situ oxidation of niobium and tantalum in HSO3F by bis(fluorosulfuryl) peroxide, S2O6F2. resulted in the formation of the highly solvated Lewis acids M(S03F)5 with M = Nb or Ta. Based on electrical conductivity measurements, both solutes were found to behave as moderately strong, monoprotonic acids in HSO3F, with Ta(SC>3F)5 the markedly stronger acid of the two. The Hammett Acidity Function, HQ, determined for the HS03F-Ta(S03F)s superacid system confirmed its high acidity, which clearly exceeds that of HSO3F-SDF5 ("Magic Acid"), the most frequently used superacid system. In addition, both the solubility and acidity in HSO3F of the two new Lewis acids are vastly greater than those of the analogous fluorides, NbFs and TaFs, in either HF or HSO3F. The high solubility of Nb(S03F)s and Ta(S03F)s allowed the study of their solution behavior, using *H, 19F and 93Nb NMR, as well as Raman spectroscopy. Evidence for the existence of M(SC>3F)5, with M = Nb or Ta, comes from the synthesis of the salts Mx'[M(S03F)5+x], with M' = Cs or Ba and x = 1 or 2, which were characterized by vibrational spectroscopy. Salts with anions of the types [M(S03F)6]" or [M(S03F)7]2- have previously not been isolated. In solution, multicomponent equilibria appeared to be present between the anions [M(S03F)6]" and [M(S03F)7]2- with M = Nb or Ta. Synthesis of TaF4(S03F) from a 4:1 mixture of TaFs and Ta(S03F)s in HSO3F as well as the formation of NbF2(S03F)3 from a concentrated solution of HSO3F- Nb(S03F)5 suggested the possibuity "of a new family of superacid systems of the type iii HS03F-MFx(S03F)5-x, with x = 1-4. Initial investigations are reported. In addition, preliminary work dealing with analogous trifluoromethyl sulfuric acid (HSO3CF3) systems is also discussed. During the course of this study, bis(fluorosulfuryl) peroxide (S2O6F2) was found to behave as a weak base soluble only in acids stronger than 100% sulfuric acid. Addition of potassium fluorosulfate, KSO3F, to reduce the acidity of HSO3F also lowered the acid's ability to dissolve S2O6F2. The HSO3F-S2O6F2 system was studied using Raman, IH and WF NMR, and ESR spectroscopy, which led to evidence for proton transfer, hydrogen-bridging and fluorosulfate exchange between the solvent (HSO3F) and solute (S2O6F2). iv TABLE OF CONTENTS Page Abstract ii Table of Contents iv List of Tables x List of Figures xii List of Abbreviations xv Acknowledgements xvii CHAPTER 1.

  • 8.7 Hydrofluoric Acid 8.7.1 General
    8.7 Hydrofluoric Acid 8.7.1 General5-6 Hydrogen fluoride (HF) is listed as a Title III Hazardous Air Pollutant. Hydrogen fluoride is produced in 2 forms, as anhydrous hydrogen fluoride and as aqueous hydrofluoric acid. The predominant form manufactured is hydrogen fluoride, a colorless liquid or gas that fumes on contact with air and is water soluble. Traditionally, hydrofluoric acid has been used to etch and polish glass. Currently, the largest use for HF is in aluminum production. Other HF uses include uranium processing, petroleum alkylation, and stainless steel pickling. Hydrofluoric acid is also used to produce fluorocarbons used in aerosol sprays and in refrigerants. Although fluorocarbons are heavily regulated due to environmental concerns, other applications for fluorocarbons include manufacturing of resins, solvents, stain removers, surfactants, and pharmaceuticals. 8.7.2 Process Description1-3,6 Hydrofluoric acid is manufactured by the reaction of acid-grade fluorspar (CaF2) with sulfuric acid (H2SO4) as shown below: → CaF2 H2SO4 CaSO4 2HF A typical HF plant is shown schematically in Figure 8.7-1. The endothermic reaction requires 30 to 60 minutes in horizontal rotary kilns externally heated to 200 to 250°C (390 to 480°F). Dry fluorspar ("spar") and a slight excess of sulfuric acid are fed continuously to the front end of a stationary prereactor or directly to the kiln by a screw conveyor. The prereactor mixes the components prior to charging to the rotary kiln. Calcium sulfate (CaSO4) is removed through an air lock at the opposite end of the kiln. The gaseous reaction products—hydrogen fluoride and excess H2SO4 from the primary reaction and silicon tetrafluoride (SiF4), sulfur dioxide (SO2), carbon dioxide (CO2), and water produced in secondary reactions—are removed from the front end of the kiln along with entrained particulate.

He attended Dilworth School from 1956 to 1964 where his interest in chemistry was un- doubtedly stimulated by being entrusted with a key to the high school chemical stockroom. Nighttime experiments with white phosphorus led to the Headmaster administering six of the best. He obtained his BSc (1967), MSc (1st Class Hons., 1968) and PhD (1971) from The University of Auckland, doing thesis research on iridium organotransition metal chemistry with Professor Warren R. Roper FRS. This was followed by two years of postdoctoral study at Stanford Univer- sity with Professor James P. Collman working on picket fence porphyrin models for haemoglobin. In 1973 he joined the faculty of the University of Southern California, becoming Professor in 1979. After 25 years at USC, he moved to his present position of Distinguished Professor of Chemistry at UC-Riverside to build the Centre for s and p Block Chemistry. His present research interests focus on weakly coordinating anions, weakly coordinated ligands, acids, si- lylium ion chemistry, cationic catalysis and reactive cations across the periodic table. His earlier work included extensive studies in metalloporphyrin chemistry, models for dioxygen-binding copper proteins, spin-spin coupling phenomena including paramagnetic metal to ligand radical coupling, a Magnetochemi- cal alternative to the Spectrochemical Series, fullerene redox chemistry, fullerene-porphyrin supramolecular chemistry and metal-organic framework solids (MOFs).

Department of CMMUTtY The University of British Columbia 2075 Wesbrook Place Vancouver, Canada V6T 1W5 ABSTRACT A number of synthetic routes to silver(II) fluorosulfate, Ag(SC>3F)2, were systematically explored. The most suitable and versatile route was found to be the oxidation of silver metal by a solution of bisfluorosulfuryl peroxide, S20gF2, in fluorosulfuric acid, HSO^F, according to: HS03F Ag + S206F2 m- Ag (SC>3F) 2> Additional methods which were found to be suitable involved the oxidation of a wide variety of silver(I) compounds such as S F or the nsert:LOn of S0 Ag20 or AgSO^F by 2°6 2' i- 3 into AgF2. Structural conclusions on Ag(S03F)2 and the other compounds synthesized subsequently were based on the vibrational, elec• tronic and electron spin resonance spectra, as well as on magnetic susceptibility measurements made between 300 and 77 K.

Abstract: [AAE]X composed of amino acid ester cations is a sort of typically “bio-based” protic ionic liquids (PILs). They possess potential Brønsted acidity due to the active hydrogens on their cations. The Brønsted acidity of [AAE]X PILs in green solvents (water and ethanol) at room temperature was systematically studied. Various frameworks of amino acid ester cations and four anions were investigated in this work from the viewpoint of structure–property relationship. Four different ways were used to study the acidity. Acid dissociation constants (pKa) of [AAE]X determined by the OIM (overlapping indicator method) were from 7.10 to 7.73 in water and from 8.54 to 9.05 in ethanol. The pKa values determined by the PTM (potential titration method) were from 7.12 to 7.82 in water. Their 1 Hammett acidity function (H0) values (0.05 mol L− ) were about 4.6 in water.
