Abstract
Perfluoro-2-butyltetrahydrofuran forms a clear glass at 77 K which is transparent from 220 to 2600 nm. The absorption spectrum obtained on gamma radiolysis of a pure FTHF matrix at 77 K has a band at 248 nm. Using this matrix, the absorption spectra of a number of radiolytically generated perfluoroaromatic cations were obtained. This indicates that the matrix is suitable for the radiolytic generation and spectroscopic studies of cations of perfluoroaromatic compounds which have high ionization potentials.
