Using peroxide, γ‐, and UV‐irradiation, free radical addition reactions of hexafluoropropene to diethers and to 18‐crown‐6 have been investigated and mono‐, di‐, and poly‐adducts have been obtained. Factors influencing these additions, especially polar characteristics of intermediate radicals, have been elucidated. Adducts of 18‐crown‐6 retain a capacity to complex to alkali‐metal ions.
