Popis: A 19 F, 1 H, and 13 C NMR structural study is presented for a selected sample of a perfluoropolyether macrodiol (ZDOL), as well as one of its copolymers with formaldehyde. From their 19 F spectra the average composition of perfluorooxymethylene and -oxyethylene units along the chain is clearly evaluated ; the end group analysis allows the calculation of the number average molecular weight and functionality of samples of the macrodiol and, to a first approximation, those of the copolymer. The 1 H and 13 C NMR spectra are studied also in order to clarify the nature of the bridging units in the copolymer between perfluoropolyether segments ; in particular the absence of oligo(oxymethylene) sequences -(OCH 2 ) n - is verified. A comparison is also made with the spectroscopic data of a corresponding low molecular weight compound, which was prepared by reaction of trifluoroethanol with paraformaldehyde. For that reference compound the heteronuclear shift correlation 2D NMR spectrum is also reported and discussed.
