Ionic liquids of superior thermal stability

In a head-to-head study, ILs based upon tetraarylphosphonium cations exhibit superior long-term thermal stability compared to familiar salts based upon imidazolium, quaternary ammonium, or tetraalkylphosphonium cations. The Royal Society of Chemistry.

Palladium-catalyzed synthesis of functionalized tetraarylphosphonium salts

(Chemical Equation Presented) An efficient method to synthesize functionalized tetraarylphosphonium salts is described. This palladium-catalyzed coupling reaction between aryl iodides, bromides, or triflates and triphenylphosphine generates phosphonium salts in high yields. The coupling is compatible with a variety of functional groups such as alcohols, ketones, aldehydes, phenols, and amides.

Convenient Preparation of Tetraarylphosphonium Halides

Tetraarylphosphonium halides, particularly iodides, can be conveniently prepared by the Pd-catalyzed reaction of aryl halides and triarylphosphines in good yields.
