Polytetrahydrofuran(PTHF) with narrow molecular mass distribution was prepared by cationic ring-opening polymerization of tetrahydrofuran using H_2SO_4·SO_3-HClO_4 system as a catalyst. 以发烟硫酸-高氯酸为催化剂,通过四氢呋喃的阳离子开环聚合合成了窄分子量分布的聚四氢呋喃(PTHF)。
Tetrahydrofuran (THF) is an organic compound with the formula (CH2)4O. The compound is classified as heterocyclic compound, specifically a cyclic ether. It is a colorless, water-miscible organic liquid with low viscosity. It is mainly used as a precursor to polymers. Being polar and having a wide liquid range, THF is a versatile solvent.
