syndiotactic macromolecule
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
.
