Aluminum, titanium and zirconium perfluoroheptanoate (PFH) were prepared by reaction of Al, Ti and Zr-alkoxides with perfluoroheptanoic acid (PFHA) in alcohol. All compounds were characterized by NMR spectroscopy, FTIR, MS and elemental analysis and used in polymerization of 3-glycidyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GPTS) in order to see their catalytic activity over epoxides. These catalysts were effective in ring opening of epoxide. Poly-GPTS was characterized by 1H, 13C NMR and gel permeation chromatography (GPC).
