A Radiochemical Technique to Study the Solvent Transfer Reaction in the Polymerisation of Tetrahydrofuran by Phosphorus Pentafluoride

摘要

A radiochemical technique using 14C-labelled diethyl ether was used to prove that a chain transfer reaction to solvent occurs during the polymerisation of tetrahydrofuran by phosphorus pentafluoride. A mechanism to describe the chain transfer reaction was suggested. (Author)
