Hello,

I'm looking for a liquid phase chemical that would be insoluble in THF (that would phase separate). Does anyone know of one, or where I could find that information?

What type of chemicals fit your criteria? I remember doing solubility experiments with alcohols , amines , ketones ... THF is a good solvent for most of them. How about hydrocarbons?

Hey that table was still very useful. I may be able to use diethyl ether and dimethyl sulfoxide. Thank you very much

Saturated brine will phase separate, I believe. That is how I remember making POSS materials.
