Abstract

Electrochemical dimerization of hexafluoropropylene oxide dimer and trimer acids on SU-2000 glassy carbon, bulk platinum, and SU-2000 electrodes modified with platinum-group metals in acetonitrile in the presence of water was studied at various concentrations of the starting substance and different degrees of neutralization of the starting acid. Also, the possibility was examined of obtaining some perfluoropolyethers in a single process by cross-condensation of several starting perfluorocarboxylic acids, followed by separation of the products by physicochemical methods.
