The crystal structure of polyacetylene has been investigated by X-ray analysis on highly oriented polymers at various cis-trans content. A mosaic-like cis-trans mixed crystal model is proposed which fits the experimental X-ray data.
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.
