A RADIOCHEMICAL TECHNIQUE TO STUDY THE SOLVENT TRANSFER REACTION IN THE POLYMERISATION OF TETRAHYDROFURAN BY PHOSPHORUS PENTAFLUORIDE.

Abstract

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)
