Calculations of the conformational and of the packing energy have been performed for the three main crystalline modifications of isotactic poly-~-butene. Calculations of the conformational energy have been performed first through minimizations of the energy of the isolated chains under the constrain

✦ Synopsis
Conformational and packing energy calculations have been performed on the ~t modification of syndiotactic polystyrene. The conformational energy has been optimized as a function of the internal parameters of the chain. The packing energy has been calculated considering at first the best packing of chains in triplets and then the best packing of triplets in the space groups R3 and P3. The comparison of the results of the energy calculations with the X-ray experimental data corroborates a rhombohedral mode of packing of the triplets, corresponding to the space group R3.
