Abstract

Study of the average molecular optical anisotropy 〈 γ 2〉 of atactic and isotactic poly 2 vinyl pyridines of low polydispersity has been carried out in various solvents by means of depolarized Rayleigh scattering (D.R.S.) Experimental evidence (D.R.S. and viscosity) for free charges both on atactic and isotactic chains has been found in methanol and dimethyl formamide; their effect on 〈 γ 2〉 has been analyzed. The influence on molecular optical anisotropy of thermodynamic quality of the solvent has also been studied. Finally, comparison of the experimental optical anisotropies of atactic and isotactic structures reveals the strong effect of stereoregularity on the physical property under study.
