Epoxy polymerization initiated by BF3–amine complexes. I. Synthesis and characterization of BF3–amine complexes and BF3–amine complexes dissolved in γ–butyrolactone

Abstract
With the aim of identifying the species responsible for initiating epoxy homopolymerization, several BF3–amine complexes were synthesized. Their characterization was accomplished by several spectroscopic techniques, notably by 11B‐NMR. In these polymerizations, the active species appears to be the R–NHBF salt and not the BF3–amine complex. The interactions between BF3–amine complexes and the γ–butyrolactone were also studied by FTIR. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
