A new calculation of the vibrational frequencies of poly(ethy1 ethylene) based on the actual molecular geometry was performed. The calculation takes into account new experimental data such far‐infrared spectra and Raman spectra of the stretched polymer, infrared spectra of poly(ethyl ethylene)‐(2,2;d2) (P‐4‐1‐d2) and poly(ethyl ethylene)‐(3,3,4,4;d4) (P‐4‐1‐d4), and Raman spectra of poly(ethyl ethylene)‐(1,3,3;d3) and poly(ethyl ethylene)‐(3,3,4,4;d4). Refinement produced a set of force constants; it is also applicable to poly(propyl ethylene).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
