Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for synthesizing a poly(phenylene) with high ion selectivity comprises dissolving an alkyl halide poly(phenylene) in a polar aprotic solvent to form a nonaqueous solution and adding an anhydrous nucleophile to the nonaqueous solution to replace the halide of the alkyl halide poly(phenylene) with a cationic group of the nucleophile. The poly(phenylene) can be used in anion exchange membranes.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

I claim: 1. A method for synthesizing a poly(phenylene) with high ion selectivity, comprising: providing an alkyl halide poly(phenylene), wherein at least one pendant aryl ring is functionalized with a hydrophobic alkyl group comprising a methyl, propyl, or a longer chain hydrocarbon, dissolving the alkyl halide poly(phenylene) in a polar aprotic solvent to form a nonaqueous solution, and adding an anhydrous nucleophile to the nonaqueous solution to replace the halide of the alkyl halide poly(phenylene) with a cationic group of the nucleophile. 2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising heating the nonaqueous solution to a temperature of less than 200° C. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the polar aprotic solvent comprises n-methyl pyrrolidone, dimethyl acetamide, dimethyl sulfoxide or dimethyl formamide. 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the nucleophile comprises an amine. 5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the amine comprises trimethyl amine, triethyl amine, or tripropyl amine. 6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the nucleophile comprises imidazole, piperidine, or phosphine. 7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the longer chain hydrocarbon comprises an octyl. 8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the cationic group comprises ammonium, imidazolium, piperidinium, or phosphonium.
