The invention also relates to compounds of the general formula [PFa (CHbF~ (CF3) d) e] (Ia) , wherein, as in formula (I), b is 0 or 1, c is 0, 1, 2 or 3, d is 0, 1, 2 or 3 and a is l, 2, 3 or 4, but a is l, 2, 3 or 4, which are needed as intermediates for producing compounds of the formula (I).
Normally, lithium hexafluorophosphate is used as conducting salt in lithium secondary batteries. A
disadvantage is that this salt has relatively little resistance to hydrolysis. Various experiments were therefore performed to find a replacement for said salt.
For example, WO 88/03331 describes salts of cyclic per-fluoroalkanebis(sulphonyl)imides, including also their lithium salts, which can be used as conducting salts in nonaqueous electrolytes for lithium secondary batteries.
As experiments have revealed, such compounds can, how-ever, be produced only at great expense and have to be freed from undesirable byproducts after the synthesis.
The purification of the salts is indispensable since reproducible properties are indispensable for application as constituents of battery electrolytes.
The object of the invention is therefore to provide suitable conducting salts for electrolytes for use in lithium batteries. The object of the invention is also to provide a process by which the conducting salts according to the invention can be produced easily and inexpensively.

CFA F F (Ile) The actual salts according to the invention of the formula (I) are obtained by the fluorinated alkyl-phosphoranes obtained in the first stage being taken up as a product mixture, preferably after distillative separation, under anhydrous conditions in a suitable aprotic, polar solvent, such as, for example, dimethyl ether, dimethoxyethanes or their mixtures and reacted with lithium fluoride to form compounds of the formula (I), depending on reactivity, at a temperature of 0 to 60°C, preferably adhering to room temperature.
-In the electrolytes according to the invention, both the pure compounds of the formula (I) and the mixtures obtained by the fluorination reaction can be used. Preferably, the pure compounds are used to produce the electrolyte solutions because of the reproducibility of the electrolyte properties.
Surprisingly, it was found by experiments that compounds of the formula (I) are resistant to hydrolysis in aprotic polar solvents at room temperature and, to be specific, those compounds, in particular, whose alkyl radicals are completely saturated with fluorine. In this connection, the resistance to hydrolysis increases with the'number of fluorine atoms in the molecule.
Aprotic polar solvents are to be understood as meaning solvents such as - nitrites acetonitrile or benzonitrile, - ethers diethyl ether, dimethoxyethane, tetra-hydrofuran, dioxane or dimethyltetra-hydrofuran, - esters methyl or ethyl esters of formic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, and also cyclic esters, such as butyrolactone, and organic carbonates, such as, for example, dimethyl carbonate, diethyl carbonate, ethyl methyl carbonate, ethylene carbonate or propylene carbonate, - amides dimethylformamide, diethylformamide, N-methylpyrolidine or - sulphones dimethyl sulphone, tetramethylene sulphone or other sulpholanes.
The salts according to the invention have, in addition, an excellent solubility in said solvents and, in particular, the compounds completely saturated with fluorine have little hygroscopy.
Experiments have shown that these compounds are extremely stable. With dry storage in the solid state, perfluorinated compounds exhibit no decomposition at temperatures below 100°C. They prove to be thermally _ g _ stable even on increasing the temperature further. It is only at temperatures above 130°C that they exhibit slight discolorations.
Even on storage in solution, for example in dimethoxyethane, no colour changes can be observed or decomposition products detected even after weeks.
For this reason, the compounds according to the invention, in particular the compounds of the formulae III, IV, V, VI and VII, are already excellently suited as conducting salts in nonaqueous electrolytes for lithium batteries.
Furthermore, electrolyte solutions which contain these compounds have remarkable chemical and electro-chemical stability. In particular, oxidation of the corresponding anion cannot be detected prior to the lithium deposition.
Such electrolytes comprise, in addition to organolithium salts, such as the compounds according to the invention of the formula (I) one or more nonaqueous organic solvents and, optionally, further additives. If desired, in addition to the compounds according to the invention, already known lithium salts can also be added to the electrolyte as conducting salts. Further details on such electrolytes and the structure or mode of oper-ation of lithium batteries are known to the person skilled in this field of technology. The compounds according to the invention can be used completely analogously to lithium compounds known for this application and, under these conditions, exhibit extremely high stabilities. Corresponding battery cells exhibit excellent properties in relation to capacity and constant voltage and also an unlimited serviceability over an above-average large number of charge-discharge cycles.
The examples given below are given to provide a better illustration of the present invention, but are not designed to limit the invention to the features disclosed herein.
- 8a -Figures 1 and 2 represent data generated in cycling experiments with various lithium salts, as detailed in Examples 4 and 5.
- g -Examples Example 1 Bis(heptafluoroisopropyl)trifluorophosphorane (IIa) and its derivatives Diisopropylchlorophosphane is electrochemically fluorinated by the Simons process in an electrochemical cell which comprises hydrofluoric acid as solvent. The cylindrical cell used having a volume of 310 cm3 is fitted with nickel anodes having an effective surface area of S - 3.75 dm2 and cathodes having the same effective surface area. Furthermore, the cell is fitted with a cooling condenser. The cell temperature is kept at -5°C during the electrolysis and the condenser at -30°C.
57 g of diisopropylchlorophosphane dissolved in 200 g of hydrofluoric acid are added in portions to 235 g of previously electrolysed hydrofluoric acid, and to be specific, in the following way:
Electrolysis time Amount of diisopropylchlorophosphane [A h] [gl 78.1 10 157.4 10 230.6 10 294.0 10 365.2 7 Gaseous products which have passed through the cooling condenser and two PTFE traps are cooled to -78°C.
The electrolysis, which is performed at a voltage of 4.4 - 5.4 V and a current density of 0.30 -0.53 A/dmz is terminated after a current consumption of 420 A h (131% of theory) , about 220 g of liquid product being collected from the cell. After the temperature has been adj usted to -20°C and the lower phase had been separated off from the hydrogen fluoride phase, 18 g of raw product are obtained. 750 of bis(heptafluoroisopropyl)trifluorophosphorane (IIa), 150 of heptafluoroisopropyl(1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoroiso-propyl)trifluorophosphorane (IIb) and bis(hex-1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropyl)trifluorophosphorane (IIc) can be detected therein by NMR 19F spectroscopy.
This mixture can be separated by fractional distillation into fractions which each comprise one of these compounds as main component. In addition, after the separation of the hydrogen fluoride phase, 33 g of products which are liquid at low temperatures are obtained from the cooling traps. Investigations by NMR
19F spectroscopy show that these are predominantly hepta-fluoroisopropyltetrafluorophosphorane (IId), 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropyltetrafluorophosphorane (IIe) and perfluoropropane. The perfluoropropane can be distilled off by heating to 20°C. The residue can be separated by fractional distillation into fractions which comprise heptafluoroisopropyltetrafluoro-phosphorane (IId) or 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropyl-tetrafluorophosphoranes (IIe) as main components.

Stirring is then carried out at the same temperature for one hour and small amounts of metallic lithium are also added.
The reaction mixture is kept at room temperature for 24 h, then filtered and can be used immediately as an electrolyte for rechargeable batteries. The lithium bis(heptafluoroisopropyl)tetrafluorophosphate (II) formed during the reaction can, however, also be isolated by distilling off the solvent under high vacuum.

CFA F F (Ile) The actual salts according to the invention of the formula (I) are obtained by the fluorinated alkyl-phosphoranes obtained in the first stage being taken up as a product mixture, preferably after distillative separation, under anhydrous conditions in a suitable aprotic, polar solvent, such as, for example, dimethyl ether, dimethoxyethanes or their mixtures and reacted with lithium fluoride to form compounds of the formula (I), depending on reactivity, at a temperature of 0 to 60°C, preferably adhering to room temperature.
-In the electrolytes according to the invention, both the pure compounds of the formula (I) and the mixtures obtained by the fluorination reaction can be used. Preferably, the pure compounds are used to produce the electrolyte solutions because of the reproducibility of the electrolyte properties.
Surprisingly, it was found by experiments that compounds of the formula (I) are resistant to hydrolysis in aprotic polar solvents at room temperature and, to be specific, those compounds, in particular, whose alkyl radicals are completely saturated with fluorine. In this connection, the resistance to hydrolysis increases with the'number of fluorine atoms in the molecule.
Aprotic polar solvents are to be understood as meaning solvents such as - nitrites acetonitrile or benzonitrile, - ethers diethyl ether, dimethoxyethane, tetra-hydrofuran, dioxane or dimethyltetra-hydrofuran, - esters methyl or ethyl esters of formic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, and also cyclic esters, such as butyrolactone, and organic carbonates, such as, for example, dimethyl carbonate, diethyl carbonate, ethyl methyl carbonate, ethylene carbonate or propylene carbonate, - amides dimethylformamide, diethylformamide, N-methylpyrolidine or - sulphones dimethyl sulphone, tetramethylene sulphone or other sulpholanes.
The salts according to the invention have, in addition, an excellent solubility in said solvents and, in particular, the compounds completely saturated with fluorine have little hygroscopy.
Experiments have shown that these compounds are extremely stable. With dry storage in the solid state, perfluorinated compounds exhibit no decomposition at temperatures below 100°C. They prove to be thermally _ g _ stable even on increasing the temperature further. It is only at temperatures above 130°C that they exhibit slight discolorations.
Even on storage in solution, for example in dimethoxyethane, no colour changes can be observed or decomposition products detected even after weeks.
For this reason, the compounds according to the invention, in particular the compounds of the formulae III, IV, V, VI and VII, are already excellently suited as conducting salts in nonaqueous electrolytes for lithium batteries.
Furthermore, electrolyte solutions which contain these compounds have remarkable chemical and electro-chemical stability. In particular, oxidation of the corresponding anion cannot be detected prior to the lithium deposition.
Such electrolytes comprise, in addition to organolithium salts, such as the compounds according to the invention of the formula (I) one or more nonaqueous organic solvents and, optionally, further additives. If desired, in addition to the compounds according to the invention, already known lithium salts can also be added to the electrolyte as conducting salts. Further details on such electrolytes and the structure or mode of oper-ation of lithium batteries are known to the person skilled in this field of technology. The compounds according to the invention can be used completely analogously to lithium compounds known for this application and, under these conditions, exhibit extremely high stabilities. Corresponding battery cells exhibit excellent properties in relation to capacity and constant voltage and also an unlimited serviceability over an above-average large number of charge-discharge cycles.
The examples given below are given to provide a better illustration of the present invention, but are not designed to limit the invention to the features disclosed herein.
- 8a -Figures 1 and 2 represent data generated in cycling experiments with various lithium salts, as detailed in Examples 4 and 5.
- g -Examples Example 1 Bis(heptafluoroisopropyl)trifluorophosphorane (IIa) and its derivatives Diisopropylchlorophosphane is electrochemically fluorinated by the Simons process in an electrochemical cell which comprises hydrofluoric acid as solvent. The cylindrical cell used having a volume of 310 cm3 is fitted with nickel anodes having an effective surface area of S - 3.75 dm2 and cathodes having the same effective surface area. Furthermore, the cell is fitted with a cooling condenser. The cell temperature is kept at -5°C during the electrolysis and the condenser at -30°C.
57 g of diisopropylchlorophosphane dissolved in 200 g of hydrofluoric acid are added in portions to 235 g of previously electrolysed hydrofluoric acid, and to be specific, in the following way:

The electrolysis, which is performed at a voltage of 4.4 - 5.4 V and a current density of 0.30 -0.53 A/dmz is terminated after a current consumption of 420 A h (131% of theory) , about 220 g of liquid product being collected from the cell. After the temperature has been adj usted to -20°C and the lower phase had been separated off from the hydrogen fluoride phase, 18 g of raw product are obtained. 750 of bis(heptafluoroisopropyl)trifluorophosphorane (IIa), 150 of heptafluoroisopropyl(1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoroiso-propyl)trifluorophosphorane (IIb) and bis(hex-1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropyl)trifluorophosphorane (IIc) can be detected therein by NMR 19F spectroscopy.
This mixture can be separated by fractional distillation into fractions which each comprise one of these compounds as main component. In addition, after the separation of the hydrogen fluoride phase, 33 g of products which are liquid at low temperatures are obtained from the cooling traps. Investigations by NMR
19F spectroscopy show that these are predominantly hepta-fluoroisopropyltetrafluorophosphorane (IId), 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropyltetrafluorophosphorane (IIe) and perfluoropropane. The perfluoropropane can be distilled off by heating to 20°C. The residue can be separated by fractional distillation into fractions which comprise heptafluoroisopropyltetrafluoro-phosphorane (IId) or 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropyl-tetrafluorophosphoranes (IIe) as main components.
