Peter Parker is looking for new materials for his synthetic web. Materials generally involve polymers, which are long, repeating molecules, which can be linear or branched, which can have molecular masses in the order of thousands or tens of thousands of Daltons. To prepare polymers, advanced reactions are usually required, such as coupling reactions, Ziegler – Natta, advanced oxidations, among others. The characteristics of the polymer depend of the properties of the geometry and polarity of its precursors, so Parker decides to study different precursors proposed by Tony Stark. Help Parker with his investigation: a) Stark proposes to Parker that he can use some anions as crosslinking ligands between cationic polymers to increase the strength of your webs. He proposes you to try the anions of sodium dithionite (Na2S2O4), lithium borohydride (LiBH4), calcium hexafluorophosphate (Ca (PF6)2), ammonium fluorophosphate ((NH4)2PO3F) and sodium thiosulfate (Na2S2O3). Propose the most probable…
