    Abstract: A crystalline form of phenyl bis (2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl) phosphine oxide, with a large particle size, which belongs to a triclinic crystal system and space group P-1. A crystallization method for making the crystalline form of phenyl bis (2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl) phosphine oxide, comprising adding a solid of phenyl bis (2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl) phosphine oxide to a solvent and mixing; followed by heating to 50 to 70° C. to achieve complete dissolution; cooling the solution to room temperature; and adding an anti-solvent to the resulting solution to cause precipitation of crystals. The crystals are allowed to grow at a constant temperature for 10 to 60 minutes, so as to give a slurry containing the crystals. Said slurry is subjected to filtration and then drying to obtain the crystalline form of phenyl bis (2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl) phosphine oxide.

  • Patent number: 9006491
    Abstract: The current invention relates to the structure, synthesis of dialkyl(2,4,6- or 2,6-alkoxyphenyl)phosphine or its tetrafluoroborate, as well as its applications in the palladium catalyzed carbon-chlorine bond activation for Suzuki coupling reactions and carbon-nitrogen bond formation reactions. The dialkyl(2,4,6- or 2,6-alkoxyphenyl)phosphine or its tetrafluoroborate could coordinate with the palladium catalyst to activate the inert carbon-chlorine bond highly selectively and catalyze Suzuki coupling reaction with arylboronic acid or carbon-nitrogen bond formation reaction with organic amines. The current invention uses only one step to synthesize dialkyl(2,4,6- or 2,6-alkoxyphenyl)phosphine and its tetrafluoroborate is stable in the air. Compared with known synthetic routes of ligands used in activating carbon-chlorine bonds, the method of current invention is short, easy to operate.

  • Patent number: 8957243
    Abstract: The present invention provides phosphonium ionic liquids (11) and coatings made therefrom. Highly fluorinated phosphonium ionic liquids based on (11) having been produced exhibiting high thermal stabilities, low melting points and temperature dependent solvent miscibilities. These salts and derivatives of (11) have also been employed in the preparation of superhydrophobic surfaces, indicating that ionic liquids are not only new alternative solvents, but also viable functional materials. All derivatives of (11) form biphasic systems with common laboratory solvents of ranging polarity at room temperature. Based on the solvent miscibility experiments with water and the high fluorine loading, the PILs showed obvious evidence of being hydrophobic. Coatings made with these phosphonium ionic liquids (11), salts and derivatives thereof were superhydrophobic with water contact angles were measured and all of the surfaces were determined to be superhydrophobic with contact angles >150°.

  • Publication number: 20090198082
    Abstract: The present invention is to provide a process for producing dicyanonorbornane characterized by causing hydrogen cyanide to undergo addition reaction with cyanonorbornene (bicyclo[2.2.1]-5-heptene-2-carbonitrile) in the presence of a zerovalent nickel complex catalyst which is produced by using a phosphite represented by P(x)(y)(z) (wherein P is a phosphorus atom, and x, y and z are each OR, where R represents an aryl group having not more than 18 carbon atoms) as a ligand to reduce a nickel halide with at least one metal selected among zinc, cadmium, beryllium, aluminum, iron and cobalt, wherein the phosphite is one which has a phosphate content of 1.0 weight % or lower based on the whole phosphite.
