Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
161 words
A process for removing oxidants, protic acids and compounds that can be metallated, from a hydride selected from the group consisting of arsine and phosphine, said process comprising (1) contacting the hydride with a scavenger comprising the reaction product of the hydride and a metallated macroreticulate polymer having a plurality of pendant functional groups or mixtures of functional groups having the general formula: ##STR3## where Ar is an aromatic hydrocarbon radical containing from one to three rings, R 1 and R 2 are the same or different and are selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and alkyl hydrocarbon radicals containing from 1 to 12 carbon atoms and M is a metal selected from the group consisting of sodium, potassium and lithium, said metallated macroreticulate polymer having within its pores a compound of M selected from the group consisting of a 1-12 carbon alkyl compound and a hydride, or mixtures thereof and (2) separating the hydride from the macroreticulate polymer scavenger.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
161 words
A process for removing oxidants, protic acids and compounds that can be metallated, from a hydride selected from the group consisting of arsine and phosphine, said process comprising (1) contacting the hydride with a scavenger comprising the reaction product of the hydride and a metallated macroreticulate polymer having a plurality of pendant functional groups or mixtures of functional groups having the general formula: ##STR3## where Ar is an aromatic hydrocarbon radical containing from one to three rings, R 1 and R 2 are the same or different and are selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and alkyl hydrocarbon radicals containing from 1 to 12 carbon atoms and M is a metal selected from the group consisting of sodium, potassium and lithium, said metallated macroreticulate polymer having within its pores a compound of M selected from the group consisting of a 1-12 carbon alkyl compound and a hydride, or mixtures thereof and (2) separating the hydride from the macroreticulate polymer scavenger.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
18 words
The process of claim 1 wherein M is lithium, R 1 is H and R 2 is pentyl.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
16 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the metallated macroreticulate polymer is a metallated macroreticulate styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer.
