Despite the utility of chloroaluminate systems as combinations of solvent and catalysts in electrophilic reactions, subsequent research on the development of newer ionic liquid compositions focused largely on the creation of liquid salts that were water-stable [4], To this end, new ionic liquids that incorporated tetrafiuoroborate, hexafiuorophosphate, and bis (trifiuoromethyl) sulfonamide anions were introduced. While these new anions generally imparted a high degree of water-stability to the ionic liquid, the functional capacity inherent in the IL due to the chloroaluminate anion was lost. Nevertheless, it is these water-stable ionic liquids that have become the de rigueur choices as solvents for contemporary studies of reactions and processes in these media [5],... 

There has been much activity in this field of corrosion inhibition in recent years which appears to have been prompted by health and safety requirements. As with engine coolants, the use of nitrites, particularly where amines may also be present, needs to be considered carefully. Nitrites have been widely used in cutting, grinding, penetrating, drawing and hydraulic oils. Suggested replacements for nitrites and/or amines make use, inter alia, of various borate compounds, e.g. monoalkanolamide borates. Molybdates have also been proposed in conjunction with other inhibitors, e.g. carbox-ylates, phosphates, etc . Water-based metalworking fluids usually contain other additives in addition to corrosion inhibitors, e.g. for hard-water stability, anti-foam, bactericidal proderties and so on. Thus, claims are made for oil-in-water emulsions with bactericidal and anti-corrosion properties. 

Foam behavior and foam stability are strongly dependent on the water hardness. With a water hardness of 0 ppm the foam behavior and foam stability of LAS improves as the molecular mass increases. This behavior is exactly the opposite at a water hardness of 300 ppm. From 100 ppm the optimum for the Cn homologs is obtained. With the same molecular mass, the foam consistancy of the homologs is highest when the content of 2- and 3-phenylalkanes is highest [187]. In terms of stability in hard water a higher 2-phenylalkane content has a positive influence. An increase in molecular mass has the effect of reducing the hard water stability [189-191]. 

With ether carboxylates the above-mentioned problems do not arise due to the polyglycol ether group in the molecule. Therefore ether carboxylates show good hard water stability as well as good detergent and foam properties in hard water. It is even possible to disperse lime soaps [61,62,64]. However, the ether carboxylates have the same creamy foaming properties as soap. 

Stroink [61] and Meijer [64] describe the hard water stability of several ether carboxylates with different fatty chains and EO degrees compared to some basic surfactants (Tables 2 and 3). Studies with carboxymethylated alcohols [52] based on C12 to C18 compared to the corresponding fatty acids showed an important solubility in hard water, although the CMC was still close to those of these fatty acids. With increasing water hardness the Kraft points of the carboxymethylated products increased.

Meijer (64) describes the improved hard water stability of a cutting oil formulation over a long range of water hardness traject by using a C6-C8 ether carboxylic acid. Ether carboxylic acids are in this case also used as emulsifiers in the production of microemulsions [64].

Ether carboxylates are used not only in powdered detergents but in liquid laundry detergents for their hard water stability, lime soap dispersibility, and electrolyte stability they improve the suspension stability and rheology of the electrolyte builder [130,131]. Formulations based particularly on lauryl ether carboxylate + 4.5 EO combined with fatty acid salt and other anionic surfactants are described [132], sometimes in combination with quaternary compounds as softeners [133,163]. Ether carboxylates show improved cleaning properties as suds-controlling agents in formulations with ethoxylated alkylphenol or fatty alcohol, alkyl phosphate esters or alkoxylate phosphate esters, and water-soluble builders [134]. 

Besides the use of anionics such as sulfonates and nonionics such as alkyl-phenol ethoxylates, in 1977 the use of ether carboxylates was also described [183] in terms of its excellent temperature, electrolyte, and hard water stability and low interfacial tension, especially in case of the C12-C14 ether carboxylic acid with 4.5 mol EO. 

Because of their good electrolyte and hard water stability, ether carboxylates are used in medium (3-10% salt) to high- (10-24% salt) salinity reservoirs in combination with ether sulfates, resp. sulfonates to improve the stability of the microemulsion [188]. 

The applications of a-sulfo fatty acid esters are widely spread as for other surfactants. They can be used in detergents, cleansers, and cosmetic products as well as in the building industry and for the production of synthetic materials and agrochemicals. The main properties for these applications are surface activity, wetting ability, hard water stability, lime soap dispersion power, and good human and environmental safety profiles.

As mentioned several times Lewis acids are highly valuable catalysts but the most commonly used ones such as aluminium chloride and boron trifluoride are highly water sensitive and are not usually recovered at the end of a reaction, leading to a significant source of waste. In recent years there has been much research interest in lanthanide triflates (trifluoro-methanesulfonates) as water stable, recyclable Lewis acid catalysts. This unusual water stability opens up the possibility for either carrying out reactions in water or using water to extract and recover the catalyst from the reaction medium. 

There are reports of polymerisation of pyrrole [161, 162] and aniline [163] onto polyacetylene, to give oxygen and water stability [161], although there is some evidence for the polyacetylene acting electrocatalytically, oxidizing the pyrrole with no concomitant polymerisation.

This indicates that post-synthesis modification of MOFs by coordinating hydrophobic ligands to unsaturated metal sites may be a powerful method to generate new sorbents for gas separation under humid conditions. Amine functionalization to target the water stability of MOFs will be further discussed in the next section. 

Water stability is a major challenge that has to be overcome before metal organic framework can be used in removing carbon dioxide from flue gas. The core structure of MOF reacts with water vapor content in the flue gas leading to severe distortion of the structure and even failure. As a consequence, the physical structure of MOF is changed, e.g., reduction of porosity and surface area, etc. that decreases the capacity and selectivity for C02. Complete dehydration of flue gas increases the cost of separation. It is therefore essential for MOFs to exhibit stability in the presence of water up to certain extent [91]. 

By considering the results of previous experiment, they synthesized cobalt-, nickel-, copper-, and zinc-based, new pillared MOFs of similar topologies which exhibited good water stability [233]. The grafted methyl group on the benzene dicarboxlate (BDC) ligand introduced steric factors around the metal centers consequently, water stability of MOF drastically improved. 

Zhang et al. [234] performed a study to modify the surface of the MOF hydrophilic to hydro-phobic to improve water stability. They demonstrated a new strategy to modify hydrophobic polydimethysiloxane (PDMS) on the surface to significantly enhance their water resistance by a facile vapor deposition technique. In this study, they successfully coated three vulnerable MOFs according to the water stability (MOF-5, FIKUST-1, and ZnBT), while the porosity, crystalline characteristics, and surface area were unchanged. 

All these studies demonstrated that water stability of MOFs can be improved by incorporating specific factors (e.g., metal-ligand strength, thermodynamic and kinetic factors, etc.) which govern the structural stability of the framework. 

Some of these developments have come with the discovery that organomercurials can display significant Lewis acidity when substituted by electron-withdrawing groups. Taking into account the air and water stability of organomercurials, these discoveries have fueled a great deal of research directed toward the synthesis of...
