Abstract:
A compound that is the reaction product of:(a) an ionic compound comprising (a)(1) a cation and (a)(2) an anion having up to 100 nonhydrogen atoms and containing at least one substituent comprising a moiety having an active hydrogen,wherein the cation (a)(1) is represented by the following general formula: [L*--H].sup.+, wherein:L* is a nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur or phosphorus containing Lewis base containing from one to three C.sub.10-40 alkyl groups with a total of from 12 to 100 carbons, and the anion (a)(2) corresponds to Formula (II):[M'.sup.m+ Q.sub.n (G.sub.q (T--H).sub.r).sub.z ].sup.d- (II)wherein:M' is a metal or metalloid selected from Groups 5-15 of the Periodic Table of the Elements;Q independently in each occurrence is selected from the group consisting of hydride, dihydrocarbylamido, halide, hydrocarbyloxide, hydrocarbyl, and substituted-hydrocarbyl radicals, including halo-substituted hydrocarbyl radicals, and hydrocarbyl- and halohydrocarbyl-substituted organo-metalloid radicals, the hydrocarbyl portion in each of these groups preferably having from 1 to 20 carbons, with the proviso that in not more than one occurrence is Q halide; G is a polyvalent hydrocarbon radical having r+1 valencies bonded to M' and r groups (T--H);the group (T--H) is a radical wherein T comprises O, S, NR, or PR, the O, S, N or P atom of which is bonded to hydrogen atom H wherein R is a hydrocarbyl radical, a trihydrocarbylsilyl radical, a trihydrocarbyl germyl radical or hydrogen;m is an integer from 1 to 7;n is an integer from 0 to 7;q is an integer of 0 or 1;r is an integer from 1 to 3;z is an integer from 1 to 8;d is an integer from 1 to 7; andn+z-m=d, and(c) an organometal or metalloid compound corresponding to the formula:M.sup.o R.sup.c.sub.x X.sup.a.sub.y,whereinM.sup.o is a metal or metalloid selected from Groups 2, 12, 13 or 14 of the Periodic Table of the Elements,R.sup.c independently each occurrence is hydrogen or a group having from 1 to 80 nonhydrogen atoms which is hydrocarbyl, hydrocarbylsilyl, trihydrocarbylsilyl, trihydrocarbylgermyl or hydrocarbylsilylhydrocarbyl;X.sup.a is a noninterfering group having from 1 to 100 nonhydrogen atoms which is halo-substituted hydrocarbyl, hydrocarbylamino-substituted hydrocarbyl, hydrocarbyloxy-substituted hydrocarbyl, hydrocarbylamino, di(hydrocarbyl)amino, hydrocarbyloxy or halide;x is a nonzero integer which may range from 1 to an integer equal to the valence of M.sup.o ;y is zero or a nonzero integer which may range from 1 to an integer equal to 1 less than the valence of M.sup.o ; andx+y equals the valence of M.sup.o.
