The Electrochemistry of Hydrocarbons in  HF  / SbF5: Some Mechanistic Conclusions Concerning the Super Acid “Catalyzed” Condensation of Hydrocarbons

Abstract: The electrochemistries of antimony and simple hydrocarbons were examined in HF/SbF5 . From cyclic voltammetric data, Sb(V) appears to be a strong oxidizing agent in the super acid media, capable of oxidizing hydrocarbons containing three or more carbon atoms. It is therefore reasonable that the Sb(V) reduction process supplies the energy required for the super acid “catalyzed” condensation of saturated hydrocarbons, confirming suggestions already in the literature. The anodic oxidation of aromatic hydrocarbon… Show more

“…These results follow ag eneral trend in accordance with the redox properties of halogens andh alide ions. Thus, as previously demonstrated, [21] SbF 5 act as an oxidanti nH F/SbF 5 solutionsa nd oxidize chloridea nd iodide ions to generate elemental halogen in so-lution. [22] This was confirmed by evidencing the formation of SbI 3 and I 2 by X-ray diffraction analysis of the crude powder collected after reaction of NaI in HF/SbF 5 (see Supporting Information).…”

“…Perhaps the most successful and economical method for preparing PPP is the oxidative coupling reaction of benzene reported by Kovacic and co-workers [83][84][85][86][87]. Several electrolytic methods [88][89][90][91][92][93][94] have also been used to prepare polypheneylene. The electrolysis of phenylmagnesium bromide in ether afforded about a 0.1 % yield of polymer [88].…”

“…Several previous works have considered replacing strong chemical oxidizers or high temperatures with an electrochemical potential. For example, Brilmyer and Jasinski 33 proposed a methane oxidation process in strong superacids with hydrofluoric acid (HF) and antimony pentafluoride (SbF 5 ). The authors describe a Sb +5 /Sb +3 redox shuttle strategy 33 capable of oxidative coupling of ethane, propane and cycloalkanes; however, methane oxidation was not observed.…”
