Fluorine magnetic resonance spectra and tacticities of poly(vinyl trifluoroacetate)

Abstract
Fluorine magnetic resonance spectra of poly(vinyl trifluoroacetate) samples of different tacticities were investigated, along with those of model compounds. These polymers represent the first case where the line order in respect to stereostructure does not agree with that expected from the spectra of model compounds. More than four peaks were observed for signals from the trifluoromethyl groups of the polymers and the relative peak positions differed from those previously reported. The intensity ratios of the peaks were affected by the solvent employed. Therefore the spectra cannot be interpreted in terms of triad stereosequences. Seemingly longer stereosequences or other influences have to be considered to interpret the spectra.
