Investigation of the structure of poly(p-chlorophenyl glycidyl ether) by the 13C n.m.r. technique: tacticity and addition isomerism

The p-chlorophenyl glycidyl ether was polymerized in the presence of Al(OiPr)₃, ZnCl₂, SnCl₄, BuOK, KOH and by the Al(OiPr)₃ZnCl₂ 1:1 initiator system. Analysis of the ¹³C n.m.r. spectra of the poly(p-chlorophenyl glycidyl ethers) obtained has made it possible to determine their tacticity and the content of the head-to-tail and head-to-head linkages in the polymer chain.
