The present invention relates to two dimensional polymers and methods of making the same. Irradiation of polycyclic, three bladed monomers, such as polyaromatic, three bladed monomers or an antrip monomer, derivatives or analogs thereof, with ultraviolet radiation provides the two dimensional polymers, which may be used in membrane applications.

Two dimensional polymers and methods of making same

This invention relates to an improved method for making unsubstituted carborane anions and monosubstituted carborane anions of formula: (R&#x2014;CB&#x2014;H)where n is an integer ranging from 5 to about 11 and m' is an integer ranging from 5 to 16 where the relative values of n and m&#x2032; depend upon the exact structure of the carborane and the presence of a non-hydrogen substituent. m as used herein is an integer ranging from 5 to 16. When R is hydrogen the anion is unsubstituted. When R is a halogen, a phenyl, a substituted phenyl group, such as fluorophenyl group, or any other substituent, the carborane is substituted. The method is particularly useful for preparation of twelve-vertex carborane anions R&#x2014;CBH, where R is a defined above, and is specifically useful for preparation of the unsubstituted carborane CBH-??, where R is H.

Method for preparation of carborane anions

A process for the extraction and isolation of concentrated carnosic acid from plant matter of the Labiatae family including contacting the plant matter with a water-miscible solvent to form a plant extract and adjusting the pH of the plant extract to a level between 7 and 10 while adding water in an amount sufficient to cause precipitation of impurities while retaining the carnosic acid salt in solution. The impurities are separated and the remaining aqueous solution is acidified to precipitate a highly purified carnosic acid product which is essentially odorless, flavorless and colorless.

Substituted borate and carborate anions having unusual properties of being exceptionally weakly nucleophilic and being soluble in non-polar solvents. One-electron oxidation of the anions yields the corresponding radicals. The compounds are useful, e.g., as electrolytes, catalysts, and electrochromic materials.
