Abstract

AbstractConformational and packing energy calculations were performed on crystalline syndiotactic cis‐1,4‐poly(1,3‐pentadiene). The lowest energy conformation of a single polymer chain — under the constraint of the experimental identify period along the chain axis (8,5 Å) — was found. The analysis of modes of packing shows that the lowest packing energy is obtained in the P21/c space group. A possible structure of the polymer is suggested.
