Electrochemical fluorination (Simons process) provides a cheap commercial access to a series of tris(perfluoroalkyl)diflurophosphoranes. These substances are convenient starting material for the preparation of various fluoro-chemicals. The synthesis of new conducting salts and ionic liquids with perfluoroalkyl-fluorophosphate (FAP) and perfluoroalkyl-phosphinate anions is described. FAP ionic liquids exhibit excellent hydrolytic stability, low viscosity and high electrochemical and thermal stability. Organic and inorganic salts with FAP anions possess high electrochemical stability and conductivity that makes them attractive for application in several electrochemical devices (Li-ion batteries, super-capacitors, etc.). The possible application of H[(RF)3PF3] (HFAP), (RF)2P(O)(OH) and (RF)P(O)(OH)2 as components of proton-conducting membranes is discussed.
