| abstract |
The present invention includes an organic molecular composition including carboxylic acid functionality, ester functionality, phosphine, phosphite or phosphate extreme pressure functionality, and, in one aspect, at least one organic ether linkage within the same molecule. In another aspect, a double bond film-forming functionality is included in the molecular composition. The composition is useful as a lubricant and can be provided, in one aspect, by reacting tris-hydroxymethyl phosphine oxide or by reacting tris(oxyalkylene glycol) phosphite or phosphate with an alkyl, alkaryl, aralkyl, or alkenyl succinic acid or alkyl, alkaryl, aralkyl, or alkenyl succinic anhydride. |
