Molten salts bearing anion receptor

Abstract

A series of organoboron molten salts prepared by hydroboration of allyl imidazolium type molten salts with various hydroborating reagents such as monobromoborane dimethyl sulfide complex, 9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane (9-BBN) and mesitylborane, and subsequent anion exchange reaction exhibited selective cation transporting property with ionic conductivity of 7.79 × 10⁻⁵ – 6.25 × 10⁻⁶ S cm⁻¹ at 323 K.
