Unprecedented Solubility of Lipophilic Metal Salts in Non-Polar Solvents
Our unrivalled lipophilic metal salts are outstanding due to their high solubility in non-polar liquids. This offers a variety of totally new applications in the field of industrial chemistry. For the first time it is possible to produce superabsorbents for non-polar solvents (diesel, dichloromethane, etc.) economically. Our organic metal salts are totally fluorine-free. Thus it is possible to produce cost-efficient compounds that are environment friendly. Further applications are their use in salt extraction with alkanes, as weakly coordinating anions, for the production of polyolefins, and as catalysts for hydrogenation.
