What is Bis(4-tert-butylphenyl)iodonium perfluoro-1-butanesulfonate?

The Uses of Bis(4-tert-butylphenyl)iodonium perfluoro-1-butanesulfonate

Cationic photoinitiator. Photoacid generator.

Research

To test the reactivity of gaseous 18F-AcF in radiofluorination, bis(4-tert-butylphenyl)iodonium perfluoro-1-butanesulfonate was radiofluorinated with anhydrous 18F-CsF (generated from 18F-AcF and 20 mg Cs2CO3) in 0.3 mL anisole. The results supported the high reactivity for 18F-fluoride derived from 18F-AcF [1]. Bis(4-tert-butylphenyl)iodonium perfluoro-1-butanesulfonate is a photoinitiator (PI). The photoinitiator (PI) mechanisms are radical and cationic. In the cationic PI system, light is absorbed, causing heterolytic and homolytic cleavage that forms a cationic portion (labeled in green) and anionic portion (labeled in pink). The generated molecules are reactive with monomers, forming an acid and free radicals, propagating polymerization[2].
