conventional PGC and PHGC with catalytic hydrogenation.The fact that there exists fairly good agreement between the relative yields before and after hydrogenation supports the validity of the presumption for the assignment of some peaks on the pyrogram in Figure 1A. Thus, the identified peaks in the monomer and the trimer regions on the pyrograms in Figures 1A and IB mostly reflect the H-H and/or the T-T structures. Although the monomer is still most abundant among the products on the pyrogram, its yield only amounts to 20.4%. On the other hand, the formation of a comparable size for the multiplets of the monomer, dimer, and trimer regions suggests that random scission type thermal degradation might be predominant for H-H PS.As was reported in the PMS work on H-H PS by Lüderwald,6 we can also find on the pyrogram in Figure IB a very minor PhCH2Ph peak (peak 10) and a fairly strong PhCH(CH3)Ph peak (peak 35). This suggests either that these structures were incorporated through minor byproducts at the stage of the monomer preparation or that thermal rearrangements took place during the pyrolysis. Furthermore, it is very interesting to note that, even though very minor, PhCH2CH2Ph and PhCH2CHPhCH3 peaks can be observed on the pyrogram of H-T PS (Figure 1C). This fact, which was also pointed out by Alajbeg et al.,13 could be indicative of the existence of H-H linkages even in H-T PS.
