Abstract
The synthesis and characterization of a series of polyethers and volatile, low-melting polyether complexes of bis(1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoro-2,4-pentanedionato)barium having the general formula Ba(hfa)2·RO(CH2CH2O)nR‘ where R = R‘ = CH3, n = 3; R = CH3, R‘ = C2H5, n = 3; R = R‘ = H, n = 5, 6; R = R‘ = CH3, n = 4; R = CH3, R‘ = C2H5, n = 5; R = CH3, R‘ = n-C4H9, n = 5, 6; R = CH3, R = C5H11O, n = 3; R = CH3, R‘ = n-C6H13, n = 4, 5; R = C2H5, R‘ = n-C4H9, n = 5; R = n-C4H9, R‘ = n-C4H9, n = 4, 6; R = n-C4H9, R‘ = n-C6H13, n = 5 are reported. The complexes are conveniently synthesized by reaction of n-propylammonium+hfa- in DMF with an aqueous solution of Ba(NO3)2 and the polyether or, alternatively, by reaction of the polyether with Ba(hfa)2 in toluene. These new complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, 1H, 13C, and 19F NMR, MS, X-ray diffraction (Ba(hfa)2·CH3O(CH2CH2O)3CH3·H2O, Ba(hfa)2·CH3O(CH2CH2O)5C2H5), and thermogravimetric analysis. The melting points of the complexes are strongly depen...
