Titanium‐Catalyzed Defluorination of Poly(Vinyl Fluoride) and Poly(Vinylidene Fluoride) Under Friedel–Crafts Conditions

ABSTRACT The defluorination of poly(vinyl fluoride) (PVF) and poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) fluoropolymers catalyzed by titanium species in the presence of triethylsilane (Et 3 SiH) and aromatic solvents is reported. Commercially available Ti complexes (e.g., [Cp 2 TiCl 2 ] (...
