✦ Synopsis
Oriented specimens of isotactic cis-l,4-poly(3-methyl-l,3-pentadiene) exhibit two crystalline modifications characterized, respectively, by the expected two-fobd helical conformation with a fiber repeat of 8,02 A and by a three-fold helix with c = 9,97 A. The latter highly contracted structure is prevalent in fibers and is the only one observed in unoriented bulk specimens. Consistent with these findings conformational calculations indicate that the three-fold helix is substantially more stable than the two-fold one.

## Abstract **Summary:** A comparison between the crystal structure of isotactic __cis__‐1,4‐poly(1,3‐pentadiene) previously predicted by molecular mechanics calculations and that successively determined by other authors by experimental data is reported. The agreement between the two structures is
## Abstract The crystal structure of isotactic __cis__‐1,4‐poly(1,3‐hexadiene) has been determined through a combination of X‐ray diffraction analysis and molecular mechanics. Two reasonable values for unit cell parameters were obtained from the fiber diffraction pattern of a well‐oriented sample.
