A
tactic macromolecule, essentially comprising alternating enantiomeric
configurational base units, which have
chiral or prochiral atoms in the
main chain in a unique arrangement with respect to their adjacent
constitutional units.
Notes:
-
In a syndiotactic macromolecule, the configurational repeating unit consists of two
configurational base units that are enantiomeric.
-
A syndiotactic macromolecule consists of racemo diads.
