Notes:
Three crystal modifications of poly(3,3-dimethyloxacyclobutane) [—CH2C(CH3)2CH2O—]n were found and their structures were analyzed by x-ray diffraction. Modification I is obtained only under tension and disappears on relaxing the tension. From the fiber period of 4.83 Å, the molecular structure seems to be planar zigzag. In modification II, two chains in T3GT3Ḡ conformation pass through a monoclinic cell with parameters a = 8.93 Å, b = 7.48 Å, c (fiber axis) = 8.35 Å, β = 97.9°, and the space group P21/c-C52h. In modification III, two (T2G2)2 chains pass through an orthorhombic cell with parameters a = 15.60 Å, b = 5.74 Å, c (fiber axis) = 6.51 Å, and the space group, C2221-D52. Molecular conformations of the three crystal modifications correspond to those of polyoxacyclobutane.
