Notes:
The relationship of valence-coordinate deformation to the temperature dependence of some infrared peak-absorption frequencies in Poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) and polystyrene (PS) is stated. A skeletal band and a CH2 rocking band in PVC and a ring-mode band in PS were studied in two kinds of experiments: steady heating and cooling of a quenched (nonequilibrium, glassy) sample through its glass-transition temperature, Tg, and long-term annealing of quenched samples below Tg, followed by steady heating and cooling. The results, a slope discontinuity, ΔM, in the v(T) relation at Tg and a frequency shift, Δviso, during isothermal annealing below Tg, are analyzed in two theoretical approaches. Interchain and intrachain contributions to the observed frequency shifts are expected to occur with a differing relative significance in different kinds of molecular vibrations, leading to one possible method of distinguishing valence-coordinate deformation (chain strain) from other effects.
