Abstract: Sulfonated polymer compositions including a polymer or copolymer derived from the monomer 2,2?-di-(4,4?dihydroxyphenyl) pentafluoropropanesulfonic acid are provided. Such compositions can provide improved polymer electrolyte membranes, especially in preferred embodiments including polybenzimidazole and polyacrylonitrile in the composition. These membranes can provide high ion conductivity in combination with improved thermal and mechanical stability, and are especially suitable for high temperature operation. Applications of such membranes include fuel cell electrolytes, electrolyzer electrolytes and battery electrolytes.

Abstract: A method is provided for synthesizing metallocene compounds useful as polymerization catalysts and the like. The method involves (a) preparation of an amino alcohol-derived ligand by reacting a silane reactant with an amino alcohol in the presence of base, followed by (b) metallation of the ligand so provided. The metallocenes may be provided in chiral form when the amino alcohol contains an asymmetric center, and are thus useful in catalyzing stereospecific polymerization and other stereospecific bond formation reactions.

Abstract: High temperature polybenzazole and polyether polymer electrolytes are provided. High temperature polybenzazole polymer electrolytes may comprise a benzobisoxazole, a benzobisthiazole, a benzobisimidazole, a difluorodisulfonated phenyl ring or a sulfonated bisphenylether. High temperature polyether polymers comprise a persulfonated phenyl ring, and a substituted phenyl ring or a substituted bisphenylsulfonyl ring system.

Abstract: Novel fire-retardant electrolyte compositions are provided. These compositions comprise a lithium salt dissolved in a fire-retardant solvent selected from the group consisting of phosphates, phospholanes, cyclophosphazenes, silanes, fluorinated carbonates, fluorinated polyethers and mixtures thereof. The electrolyte composition optionally contains a CO.sub.2 -generating compound. Also provided are fire-retardant batteries and fire-retardant conductive films formulated with such compositions, as well as methods of manufacturing such films.

Abstract: A therapeutically effective class of low toxicity aldoxime-substituted functionalized imidazolium compounds and compositions is disclosed which is effective in the treatment of living species poisoned by organophosphorus chemicals which inactivate the enzyme acetylcholinesterase. In vivo administration of therapeutically effective amounts of these aldoxime-substituted imidazolium derivatives has been found to save mammals having inhibited acetylcholinesterase due to injection with lethal dosages of Soman.

Abstract: A therapeutically effective class of low toxicity aldoxime-substituted trazolium derivatives is disclosed which is effective in the treatment of living species poisoned by organophosphorus chemicals which inactivate the enzyme acetylcholinesterase. In vivo administration of therapeutically effective amounts of these low toxicity aldoxime-substituted triazolium derivatives has been found to save mice having inhibited acetylcholinesterase due to injection with lethal dosages of Soman.
