A method is provided for making aromatic-imide and aromatic-methylidynetrissulfonyl species by reaction of aromatic species with a reactant according to formula (I): (X-SO2-)m-QH-(-SO2-R1)n wherein Q is C or N; wherein each X is independently selected from the group consisting of halogens, typically F or Cl; wherein each R1 is independently selected from the group consisting of aliphatic and aromatic groups, which may or may not be saturated, unsaturated, straight-chain, branched, cyclic, heteroatomic, polymeric, halogenated, fluorinated or substituted; wherein m is greater than 0; wherein m + n = 2 when Q is N; and wherein m + n = 3 when Q is C. Ar may be derived from an aromatic polymeric compound. In addition, compounds are provided according to the formula: (Ar-SO2)m-QH-(-SO2-R1)n wherein R1 comprises a highly acidic group selected from sulfonic acid, carboxylic acid and phosphonic acid, and Ar is derived from an aromatic compound. |
