Novel ionomers based on polybenzimidazole block sulfonated poly(arylene ether sulfone) show excellent thermal properties. The ionic aggregation of sulfonic acid groups leads to well-developed phase separated morphology and thus high proton conductivity at wide humidity range, up to 65 mS cm(-1) at 90% relative humidity.

The addition of Grignard reagents or organolithium reagents to the SO2-surrogate DABSO generates a diverse set of metal sulfinates, suitable for direct conversion to sulfone products. The metal sulfinates can be trapped in situ with a wide range of C-electrophiles, including alkyl, allyl, and benzyl halides, epoxides, and (hetero)aryliodoniums.

The title compound, C(14)H(19)NO(5)S, was prepared by nucleophilic addition of the lithium derivative of methyl-phenyl-sulfone to (3S,4R)-3,4-isopropyl-idene-dioxy-pyrroline 1-oxide. There are four mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit. The crystal structure determination confirms the configuration of the chiral centres as 2R,3S,4R. In the crystal, pairs of O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules ...

In the title compound, C(19)H(16)O(2)S, the sulfur-bound phenyl group is approximately parallel to one of the two phenyl rings of the benzhydryl group, making a dihedral angle of 12.53 (10)°, and forms a dihedral angle of 41.25 (9)° with the other phenyl ring. In the crystal, weak C-H⋯O inter-actions form a two-dimensional network propagating along the bc plane.
