Poly(3-methyltetrahydrofuran)(3-MTHF) and poly(tetrahydrofuran-co-3-MTHF), having very narrow molecular weight distribution were successfully synthesized via photo-induced living cationic polymerization in the presence of diphenyliodonium hexafluorophosphate. Linear relationship between % conversion...
