Abstract: The present invention provides a process for producing a compound comprising a perfluorinated alkyl group moiety from a carbonyl compound. Typically, the process includes contacting a carbonyl compound with a silane compound in the presence of a fluorohydrogenate ionic liquid under conditions sufficient to produce a compound comprising a perfluorinated alkyl group. The silane compound includes a perfluoroalkyl group.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for producing fluorotrifluoromethylsulfonyl imide (FTFSI) by reacting non-fluorohalogenated trihalomethylsulfonyl imide (XTXSI) with hydrogen fluoride, where each X is independently a nonfluoro-halide, such as Cl, Br, or I.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for producing ionic liquids without the use of a volatile solvent and/or water. In some embodiments, methods of the invention allow a continuous process for producing ionic liquids.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for producing hydrogen bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (HFSI) by reacting hydrogen bis(halosulfonyl)imide (HXSI) with hydrogen fluoride, where each X is independently a nonfluoro-halide, such as Cl, Br, or I.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods for producing bis(fluorosulfonyl) compounds of the formula: F—S(O)2—Z—S(O)2—F??I by contacting a nonfluorohalide compound of the formula: X—S(O)2—Z—S(O)2—X with bismuth trifluoride under conditions sufficient to produce the bis(fluorosulfonyl) compound of Formula I, where Z and X are those defined herein.

Abstract: Provided are a system and method for storing electrical power with an electrochemical device with a ionic liquid electrolyte having a metal coordination cation. More specifically, the device includes a positive electrode; a negative electrode; and an ionic liquid electrolyte statically disposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode, the ionic liquid electrolyte having a metal coordination cation. The device may be structured and arranged to permit the metal in the electrolyte to undergo redox reactions such that the electrolyte functions at least in part as both an electrolyte and as an electrode. An associated method of use is also provided.
