Abstract
A process for solubilizing an organometallic compound in a fluorinated solvent to form an organometallic solution by adding and reacting a co-solubilizer having a partly fluorinated polymer, an organometallic compound, and a fluorinated solvent, and the co-solubilizer has the ability to cause the organometallic compound to become miscible in a fluorinated solvent, and further, the co-solubilizer is not a catalyst and is present in the final organometallic solution.
Claims20
A process for solubilizing an organometallic compound in a fluorinated solvent to form an organometallic solution, comprising adding and reacting a co-solubilizer comprising a partly fluorinated polymer, an organometallic compound, and a fluorinated solvent, wherein said partly fluorinated co-solubilizer has the ability to cause said organometallic compound to become miscible in a fluorinated solvent, and wherein said partly fluorinated co-solubilizer does not react as a catalyst and is present in the organometallic solution.
A process for solubilizing an organometallic compound in a fluorinated solvent to form an organometallic solution, comprising adding and reacting a partly fluorinated co-solubilizer, an organometallic compound selected from the group consisting of a superconductor and superconductor precursor, and a fluorinated solvent, wherein the co-solubilizer has the ability to cause the organometallic compound to become miscible in the fluorinated solvent, and wherein the partly fluorinated co-solubilizer is not a catalyst and is present in the organometallic solution, and further wherein the partly fluorinated co-solubilizer has the following formula I:
- R1—(CF2)n—R2
- wherein n is a number of from about 0 to about 25;
- R1 and R2 are the same or different and each is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, hydroxyl, hydroxyalkyl, aminoalkyl, aminoaryl, aryloxy, alkyl, aryl, carboxylic acid, carboxylic acid containing groups having from about 1 to about 25 carbons, carbonyl, alkyl ketone carbonyl, and CF3(CF2)o(CH2)p, wherein o is a number of from about 0 to about 25, and p is a number of from about 1 to about 25;
- with the proviso that R1 and R2 are not both fully fluorinated.
A process for solubilizing an organometallic compound in a fluorinated solvent to form an organometallic solution, comprising adding and reacting a partly fluorinated co-solubilizer, an organometallic compound, and a fluorinated solvent, wherein the partly fluorinated co-solubilizer has the ability to cause the organometallic compound to become miscible in the fluorinated solvent, and wherein the partly fluorinated co-solubilizer does not act as a catalyst and is present in the organometallic solution, and further wherein the partly fluorinated co-solubilizer has the following formula III:
- CF3(CF2)q(CH2)r—COOH
- wherein q is a number of from about 0 to about 25, and r is a number of from about 1 to about 25.
