Fourier transform 1H-decoupled 13C NMR spectra were obtained on seven poly(vinyl chloride), (PVC), samples in solution in o-dichlorobenzene. Four of the polymers were of the commercial type and the others were prepared by suspension polymerisation at +90°C, +5°C, and -30°C. Measurements of the spectra were used to assess the precision and accuracy with which information about the tacticity of PVC can be obtained from such spectra. The results show that the well-resolved α-carbon triad and β-carbon tetrad spectra obtained may be reliably analysed to give values of the probability of syndiotactic placement with a precision of about 0,005 for measurements on a single run on a single sample. The simplest and probably the most reliable method of measuring the areas under the peaks which correspond to specific triads ot tetrads is to use the spectrometer integrator, although results of slightly lower precision may be obtained by the use of a curve resolver. Consideration of possible systematic errors due to different T1 relaxation times, unequal nuclear Overhauser enhancement (NOE) factors, and incomplete dissolution of the polymer has shown that the only one of these which is possibly significant is that due to NOE, which is almost certainly less than 0,008, so that the absolute accuracies of the Pr values should be better than that. A more detailed study of the data shows that the polymers made at 5°C and -30°C are almost certainly non-Bernoullian and that firstoder Markov statistics can adequately describe the observed departures from Bernoullian statistics. These departures may have significant consequences for the physical properties of the polymers.
