An Analysis of the 300-MHz Spectrum of Poly(3-Vinyl Pyridine)
3-Vinyl pyridine was synthesized and the monomer was then polymerized employing free radical initiation. The 300 MHz H-1-NMR spectrum was recorded and analyzed in terms of polymer stereochemistry. The results of the analysis strongly indicate that poly(3-vinyl pyridine) synthesized using free radical initiation is an atactic polymer.
