β¦ Synopsis
The tacticity assignments from the literature for the 13 C-NMR signals of the side-chain methylene group of poly(ethyl cyanoacrylate) are reversed, and new assignments of the main-chain methylene group are proposed. The assignments were made possible by a combination of DEPT and HETCOR NMR experiments on samples of varying microstructure distributions. The polymer tends toward syndiotacticity, not isotacticity as previously reported. The distribution of stereoisomers fits well to a Bernoulian statistical model. The stereochemical assignments were corroborated by similar analyses of a model compound for two cyanoacrylate repeat units.

The segment length distribution of isoregic head-to-head and tail-to-tail sequences in poly-(vinylidene fluoride) (PVF,) a) chains is calculated from I9F NMR literature data. It is found that the average length of inverse segments is very close to one unit; therefore almost all head-to-head defects
