Figure 1. Catalyst screening for the SuFEx-based synthesis of polysulfates.

Figure 1

a, The synthesis of P-1 from monomers A-1 and B-1 is employed as a model reaction for catalyst screening. b, Control experiments with DBU or BEMP as catalysts. c, Evaluation of K+[FHF]− (with/without phase transfer reagents) as the catalyst with a reaction time of 17 h. d, Evaluation of onium bifluoride (Q+[FHF]−) salts as catalysts. e, Evaluation of poly(hydrogen fluoride) salts as catalysts. NMP, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone; TBS, tert-butyldimethylsilyl; Mnps, number-average molecular weight with polystyrene as standard; PDI, polydispersity index.
