Abstract
AbstractThe rate of n‐butyl vinyl ether polymerization by chromyl chloride is first order in [catalyst] and second order in [monomer]. Added H2O (after a certain concentration) and HCl increase the rate, thiophene retards the rate, while pyridine inhibits the rate. DP is independent of [chromyl chloride] and increases with increasing [monomer] up to 1M, thereafter becoming independent of it. Both rate and DP increase over the range 10−32°C and decrease at higher temperatures.
