Abstract
Water-insoluble anion exchange materials which exhibit improved insolubility in water are used, for example, for anion exchange membranes or as anion exchange resins. The water-insoluble anion exchange materials are at least composed of linearly polymerized and/or branched and/or crosslinked anion exchange groups C, which are part of the structural units according to at least one of the general formulas I to VIII:
Claims18
Water-insoluble anion exchange materials comprising at least linearly polymerized and/or branched and/or cross-linked anion exchange groups C, which form part of the structural units according to at least one of the general formulas I to VIII,
- with
- R1 being nitrogen and/or phosphorus
- R2-R9 being substituents, wherein
- R2 and R3 are hydrogen or, if at least one group R2 and R3 is not hydrogen, then R2 and/or R3 are an alkyl group or aryl group;
- and
- R4 and R5 are respectively an alkyl and/or aryl group;
- and
- R6-R9 are hydrogen, or if at least one group R6 through R9 is not hydrogen, then these groups R6 through R9 are an alkyl group or aryl group;
- and
- Z is an end group;
- and
- X is a connection point;
- and
- V is a cross-linking point;
- and
- K is an end group Z or a connection point X;
- and
- D is nothing or is at least one methylene group or oxygen or sulfur;
- and
- B is a water-insoluble temperature-stable and alkali-stable polymer;
- and
- A is a comonomer comprising no functional groups;
- and
- 2≤n≤100;
- and
- m=0 or 1;
- and
- 1≤o≤100;
- and
- 50 mol %≤x≤99 mol % and y=(100 mol %−x);
- and
- 10 mol %≤w≤100 mol % and (n+w)=100 mol %;
- wherein
- in the case of K, at least one end group Z and at least one connection point X are present, and
- the anion exchange groups C are coupled to a water-insoluble polymer B as a constituent of the structural units according to the general formulas I through IV via one, multiple or all connection points X, and essentially all end groups Z are a temperature- and alkali-stable compound;
- and/or
- the anion exchange groups C are cross-linked to one another as a constituent of the structural units according to the general formulas V through VIII via the cross-linking point V, and essentially all end groups Z are a temperature- and alkali-stable compound and all K that are a connection point X are coupled with a water-insoluble polymer B via covalent chemical bounds;
- and/or
- the anion exchange group C and the water-insoluble polymer B are connected via one or more ionic bonds.
