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 very good as far as the space group, the unit cell parameters and the conformation of the polymer chain are concerned. The mode of packing of the chains proposed in the experimental crystal structure is very similar to that found as relative minimum in the previous energy calculations. The coexistence, in different amounts, of these two modes of packing is suggested by the analysis of the simulated X‐ray spectra and by the results of new energy calculations.

## 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.
