Abstract

Menthyl methacrylate (MnMA) was polymerized both by free radical and anionic initiators in order to obtain polymers with low (poly-MnMA-rad) and high (poly-MnMA-an) isotactic content, respectively, and their VCD spectra were measured as CCl4 solutions between 1650-850 cm− 1. Common growth of all VCD intensities, observed in the spectrum of poly- MnMA-an, indicate more and/or longer helical segments. The VCD spectra also revealed ...
