Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the production of organic salts containing bis(perfluoroalkyl)phosphinate anions. According to said method, a tris(perfluoroalkyl)phosphine oxide is reacted with an alcohol and an organic base, which is stronger than the alcohol. The invention also relates to the salts which are produced according to said method and to the use thereof as ionic liquids.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing mono(fluoroalkyl)phosphoric acids or bis(fluoroalkyl)phosphoric acids, mono(fluoroalkyl)phosphates or bis(fluoroalkyl)phosphates, and the corresponding phosphoranes thereof. The inventive method comprises at least the step of reacting a bis(fluoroalkyl)phosphonic acid, a (fluoroalkyl)phosphonic acid, or a corresponding derivative of said acids with anhydrous hydrogen fluoride.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of monohydroperfluoroalkanes, bis(perfluoroalkyl)phosphinates and perfluoroalkylphosphonates which comprises at least the treatment of at least one perfluoroalkylphosphorane with at least one base in a suitable reaction medium.

Abstract: The present invention relates to acids of the general formula [I], [RyPF6-y]?H+ [I], where y=1, 2 or 3, and in which the ligands R may be identical or different and R is a perfluorinated C1-8-alkyl or aryl group or R is a partially fluorinated C1-8-alkyl or aryl group, in which some of the F or H may have been substituted by chlorine. The present invention furthermore relates to a process for the preparation of the acids according to the invention, to salts comprising a cation and the anion of the acid according to the invention, and to a process for the preparation of the salts. The invention furthermore relates to the use of the acids and salts according to the invention.
