Methods may include reacting an antistatic agent with at least one alkylaluminum to form an antistatic complex, and may further include feeding the antistatic complex into a polymerization process. Methods of using an antistatic agent in a polymerization process may include feeding the antistatic agent into the polymerization process and, subsequently, reacting the antistatic agent with at least one alkylaluminum.

An apparatus for producing metal organic frameworks, comprising: a tubular flow reactor comprising a tubular body into which, in use, precursor compounds which form the metal organic framework are fed and flow, said tubular body including at least one annular loop.

Magnesium salts suitable for use in an electrolyte for a magnesium ion electrochemical cell are described herein. The salts are magnesium tetra(perfluoroalkoxy)metalates, optionally solvated with up to seven ether molecules coordinated to the magnesium ion thereof. In one embodiment, the salt has the empirical formula: Mg(Z).sub.2.sup.2+[M(OCR.sub.3).sub.4.sup.].sub.2 (Formula (I)) wherein Z is an ether; n is 0 to about 7; M is Al or B; and each R independently is a perfluoroalkyl group (e.g., C.sub.1 to C.sub.10 perfluoroalkyl). The magnesium salts of Formula (I) are suitable for use as electrolyte salts for magnesium ion batteries (e.g., 5 V class magnesium batteries) and exhibit a wide redox window that is particularly compatible with magnesium anode. The salts are relatively cost effective to prepare by methods described herein, which are conveniently scalable to levels suitable for commercial production.
