[0290] Difluorotris(pentafluoroethyl)phosphorane, (C.sub.2F.sub.5).sub.3PF.sub.2 (82.8 g, 194 mmol), is initially introduced in a 500 ml round-bottomed flask, cooled (0° C.) and emulsified in diethyl ether (100 ml). Allylmagnesium bromide, CH.sub.2═CHCH.sub.2—MgBr (100 ml of a 1 mol/l solution in diethyl ether; 100 mmol), is added to this emulsion over the course of one hour. A white solid precipitates out, and the reaction mother liquor becomes a yellow colour. The suspension is stirred at 0° C. for 1 hour and at room temperature for 1 hour. The reaction suspension is subsequently filtered, and the solid is washed twice with diethyl ether (25 ml each time). The ether phases are combined and ether and excess (C.sub.2F.sub.5).sub.3PF.sub.2 are condensed off at 0° C. in vacuo (10.sup.−1 mbar). The yellow liquid remaining consists principally of product, (C.sub.2F.sub.5).sub.3PF—(CH.sub.2CH═CH.sub.2), and small amounts of (C.sub.2F.sub.5).sub.3PF.sub.2 and (C.sub.2F.sub.5).sub.3P═O. Pure allylfluorotris(pentafluoroethyl)phosphorane, (C.sub.2F.sub.5).sub.3PF(CH.sub.2CH═CH.sub.2) (37.1 g, 83 mmol), can be isolated as a clear and colourless liquid with a yield of 83% by condensation at 30° C. in vacuo (10.sup.−3 mbar).

Synthesis of di(but-3-en-1-yl)zinc by Reaction of but-3-en-1-ylmagnesium bromide and Zinc Chloride

[0305] ##STR00019##

[0306] Zinc chloride (37.14 g, 272 mmol) is suspended in diethyl ether (500 ml) in a 100 ml glass round-bottomed flask, and the but-3-en-1-ylmagnesium bromide solution (592 mmol in diethyl ether (300 ml)) described in Example 4 is added over the course of 4 hours.

The yellow filtrate and the wash solution are combined, and the majority of the ether is condensed off at 0° C. in vacuo (10.sup.−3 mbar). The product is condensed out of the suspension at 30° C. to 40° C. in vacuo (10.sup.−3 mbar) into a cooled (−196° C.) trap. Residues of diethyl ether and 1,7-octadiene can be removed in a further condensation at −20° C. to −15° C. in vacuo (10.sup.−3 mbar). Further purification can be achieved by re-condensation of the product at 40° C. in vacuo (10.sup.−3 mbar). Di(but-3-en-1-yl)zinc (40.59 g, 231 mmol) can be isolated as a clear and colourless liquid with a yield of 85% and a purity of 99%.

[0366] 4-Styrylmagnesium chloride (51.2 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (60 ml) from Example 15 is initially introduced in a 100 ml glass round-bottomed flask and cooled (0° C.). Zinc chloride, ZnCl.sub.2 (3.35 g, 24.6 mmol), is added to this THF solution. The suspension is stirred at 0° C. for 2.5 hours and subsequently centrifuged. The yellow mother liquor is decanted into a 100 ml glass round-bottomed flask and THF is condensed off at 0° C. in vacuo (10.sup.−3 mbar). A white solid remains behind. This is extracted three times with toluene (50 ml each time). Toluene is condensed off from the combined toluene phases at 0° C. in vacuo (10.sup.−3 mbar) in a 250 ml glass round-bottomed flask. Since THF can still be detected in the resultant white solid, the solid is suspended two further times in toluene (20 ml each time). All volatile compounds are subsequently condensed off again at 0° C. in vacuo (10.sup.−3 mbar). Distyrylzinc-3THF (6.84 g, 14.0 mmol) can be isolated as a white solid with a yield of 57%.

Cloudiness can immediately be observed. After 1.5 h at 75° C., the milky-cloudy suspension is transferred into a 100 ml glass round-bottomed flask with CH.sub.3CN (5 ml). All volatile substances are removed at RT in vacuo (10.sup.−3 mbar), and the white pulverulent solid is dried for a further 2 h. Polymeric material can be isolated as a white powder with a yield of 96%. The polymer also contains 0.3 equivalent of CH.sub.3CN and 0.1 equivalent of H.sub.2O (elemental analysis) and also about 5 mol % of unpolymerised (C.sub.2F.sub.5)(4-styryl)P(O)OH(NMR). The average degree of polymerisation (351600 formula units) was determined via the weight average molecular weight and the polydispersity by means of GPC.

[0419] Impurities, such as CH.sub.3CN, can be removed on drying (50-60° C.) in a high vacuum for 1 day.

[0421] Mw is the weight average molecular weight, calculated over the entire peak.

[0422] Mp is the molecular weight at the peak maximum.

[0423] D (polydispersity) is an indication of the width of the weight distribution of the peak. The higher this value, the broader the weight distribution. [0424] The analysis shows a very broad weight distribution with a maxima at ˜5,200,000 Da.

[0425] The following experiment demonstrates the applicability thereof.

[0426] Determination of the Ion Exchange Capacity (IEC):

[0427] The polymer [(C.sub.2F.sub.5)(4-styryl)P(O)OH].sub.n (214 mg; 0.748 mmol) is suspended in 0.1 M NaOH.sub.(aq) (10 ml, titre: 1.0019) in a glass round-bottomed flask (25 ml) and stirred vigourously at RT for 24 h. The resultant solution is titrated with 0.1 M HCl.sub.(aq) (titre: 1.0185). The consumption of 0.1 M HCl.sub.(aq) at the equivalence point is 2.752 ml. Taking into account the titre, this results in an amount of 0.720 mmol of acidic protons in the polymeric material. A value of 3.36 meq/g (theor.: 3.49 meq/g) thus arises for the IEC. Taking into account the impurities, such as CH.sub.3CN, the measured ion exchange capacity IEC of the polymer is >99% of the theoretical value.

After 20 h, the pale-yellow suspension with fine precipitate (A) is centrifuged, the mother liquor is decanted and the white solid (A) is washed with H.sub.2O (3×2 ml). The combined mother liquors are evaporated at RT in vacuo (10.sup.−3 mbar), and the resultant white and solid residue (B) (157 mg) is dried at RT in vacuo (10.sup.−3 mbar) for a further 5 h. The white solid (B) fluoresced intensely red (EuCl.sub.3) on irradiation with UV light (λ=366 nm). The water content of the solid was determined as 45 mg (2.5 mmol) by means of Karl Fischer titration. Elemental analysis of the solid shows little contamination by CH.sub.3CN (3 mg; 0.07 mmol) from the starting material. No chloride was detected in the polymer (A) by X-ray fluorescence analysis. The ratio of europium to phosphorus is 0.30 to 1.00. EuCl.sub.3 (157 mg−45 mg (H.sub.2O)−3 mg (CH.sub.3CN)=109 mg (0.422 mmol)) can be recovered as white solid (A). Eu.sup.3+ (0.194 mmol) in the polymer are replaced by H.sup.+. The ratio of europium to phosphorus is thus 0.272 to 1.00, which corresponds to replacement of 82% of the acidic protons in the polymer (A). On irradiation with UV light at λ=366 nm, the polymer exhibits a pale orange fluorescence, whereas it fluoresces intensely pink at λ=254 nm. A quantum yield of 3.6% is determined with the aid of fluorescence spectroscopy. Excitation at λ=250.0 nm causes maximum absorption with emission maxima at λ=590.0 nm (Δv.sub.1/2=9.8 nm) and 610.5 nm (Δv.sub.1/2=9.7 nm).

Analogously to the experiment with europium (Example 6), the residue here can again be assumed to be a hexaaqua complex, [Tb(H.sub.2O).sub.6]Cl.sub.3. The water content is estimated as 18 mg (1.0 mmol). Elemental analysis of the solid shows little contamination by CH.sub.3CN (1 mg; 0.02 mmol) from the starting material. No chloride was detected in the polymer (A) by X-ray fluorescence analysis. The ratio of terbium to phosphorus is 0.33 to 1.00. TbCl.sub.3 (62 mg−18 mg (H.sub.2O)−1 mg (CH.sub.3CN)=43 mg (0.162 mmol)) can be isolated as white solid (A). Tb.sup.3+ (0.045 mmol) in the polymer are replaced by H.sup.+. The ratio of terbium to phosphorus is thus 0.26 to 1.00, which corresponds to replacement of 77% of the acidic protons in the polymer (A). On irradiation with UV light at λ=254 nm, the polymer (A) likewise fluoresces yellow-green.

[0432] White and solid polymer gel (−20 g) (filtered out of H.sub.2O suspension) is initially introduced in a 500 ml 3-necked round-bottomed flask with reflux condenser, dropping funnel and precision glass stirrer, and an aqueous (C.sub.2F.sub.5)(CH.sub.2═CHCH.sub.2CH.sub.2)P(O)OH solution (18.77 g in 100 ml of water) is added. As initiator, an aqueous [NH.sub.4].sub.2cerium[NO.sub.3].sub.6 (2.41 g)/HNO.sub.3 (65%, 1.44 g) solution (20 ml) is placed in the dropping funnel. The entire apparatus is degassed in a membrane-pump vacuum (100 mbar) and flooded with N.sub.2. The reaction suspension is warmed (40° C.) and the initiator substance is subsequently added. The now-yellow suspension is stirred at 40° C. for 22 h. The mixture is subsequently filtered, and the filter cake is washed with water (2×100 ml). The pale-yellow polymer material is washed with water (3×100 ml) and an H.sub.2SO.sub.4 (concentrated, 25 g)/ascorbic acid (17.6 g) solution (500 ml)(5×100 ml). The mixture is subsequently washed neutral several times more with an NaHPO.sub.4/NaOH buffer solution (pH 7, 50 mM) and water (in total 1000 ml). The slightly beige-coloured polymer material is stored in the refrigerator at 0° C. under Millipur water. A polymer material forms in which 0.9 g of the phosphinic acid employed is bonded to 1 g of polymer.

[0433] The polymer material obtained is in addition investigated by solid-state and liquid NMR spectroscopy. The signals detected are comparable with those of but-3-en-1-ylpentafluoroethylphosphinic acid and can be assigned to the structural unit

[0439] Procedure:

[0440] 100.1 g of LiChroprep Si100 are initially introduced in a 1000 ml three-necked flask and suspended in 0.1 molar sodium acetate solution at 250 rpm.

[0441] The mercaptopropylmethyldimethoxysilane should be added dropwise over the course of 10 to 15 minutes with stirring.

[0442] The suspension is heated under reflux (90° C.) for 3 hours.

[0443] After heating for 3 hours, the suspension is slowly cooled to room temperature with stirring.

[0444] The gel is then filtered off with suction on a 1 l Por4 frit, suspended again with 1 l of deionised water and filtered off with suction. The gel is transferred into a 2 l three-necked flask, and 1 l of methanol is added. The suspension is heated at 65-69° C. for 30 minutes. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction mixture is filtered off with suction on a 1 l Por4 frit, rinsed twice with 100 ml of methanol and dried over vacuum for 1 hour. The product is left to stand overnight in the fume hood without vacuum and next day dried again for 3 hours in vacuo.

[0457] Procedure:

[0458] The mercapto-silica gel (ScW14FE001) was initially introduced in a three-necked flask with 40 ml of methanol and suspended under nitrogen. The 3-butenylpentafluoroethylphosphinic acid, the glacial acetic acid and the V65 were then added. The vessels in which the weighed amounts were located were rinsed twice with a small amount of methanol. The reaction mixture was boiled at a bath temperature of 67° C. for 6h under nitrogen. The lukewarm reaction solution was filtered off with suction via a 125 ml Por.4 frit.

[0459] The gel was transferred into another 250 ml three-necked flask, boiled with about 50 ml of methanol for 5 min with stirring and filtered off with suction. This washing step was repeated 3 times.

[0460] The gel was dried firstly in a fume hood overnight and then at 30° C. in a vacuum drying cabinet for 16 hours.
