Abstract: The present invention provides new lithium salts comprising pentafluorophenylamide anions following the general formula Li+[N(SO2—R)(C6F5)]?, which are optionally present as solvent-free complexes. R is hereby selected from fluorine, linear or branched acyclic or cyclic alkyl groups with 1 to 20 carbon atoms which are not fluorinated, partially fluorinated or fully fluorinated; or not fluorinated, partially fluorinated or fully fluorinated aryl or benzyl groups with 1 to 20 carbon atoms.

These solvent-free lithium complexes are thermally, electrochemically and against oxidation stable and comprise a high ionic conductivity.

Abstract: Current methods for making polyfluorosulfonamido amines, which involve the use of a diamine reactant, provide low yields and produce an undesirable fluorine containing bis-sulfonamide by-product representing an economic loss. The bis-sulfonamide by-product is particularly undesirable because it shares very similar physical properties with the desired monoamine product thus making isolation of the desired polyfluorosulfonamido amine product difficult and costly. Furthermore, instead of the efficient incorporation of fluorine to make the desired polyfluorosulfonamido amine product, the bis-sulfonamide by-product constitutes a substantial loss of costly fluorinated starting material. The bis-sulfonamide by-product also constitutes an undesirable impurity that can worsen surfactancy, repellency, or other performance characteristics of the desired polyfluorosulfonamido amine product.
