Nonactin Nonactin is a member of a family of naturally occurring cyclic ionophores known as the macrotetrolide antibiotics. The other members of this homologous family are monactin, dinactin, trinactin and tetranactin which are all neutral ionophoric substances and higher homologs of nonactin. Collectively, this class is known as the nactins. Nonactin is soluble in methanol, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate and DMSO, but insoluble in water.
Fluorosulfates The fluorosulfates or fluorosulfonates are a set of salts of fluorosulfuric acid with an ion formula SOF. The flurosulfate anion can be teated as though it were a hydrogen sulfate anion with hydroxyl substituted by fluorine. The fluorosulfate ion has a low propensity to form complexes with the metal cation. Since fluorine is similar in size to oxygen, the fluorosulfate ion is roughly tetrahedral and forms salts similar to those of perchlorate. It is isoelectronic with hydrogen sulfate, HSO. When an organic group is substituted for the anions, organic fluorosulfonates are formed.
