ABSTRACT The microstructure of poly(1,3-pentadiene) synthesized by cationic polymerization of 1,3-pentadiene with tBuCl/TiCl4 initiating system is analyzed using one-dimensional- and two-dimensional-NMR spectroscopy. It is shown that unsaturated part of chain contains only homo and mixed dyads with trans−1,4-, trans−1,2-, and cis−1,2-structures with regular and inverse (head-to-head or tail-to-tail) enchainment, whereas cis−1,4- and 3,4-units are totally absent. The new quantitative method for the calculation of content of different structural units in poly(1,3-pentadiene)s based on the comparison of methyl region of 13C NMR spectra of original and hydrogenated polymer is proposed. The signals of tert-butyl head and chloromethyl end groups are identified in a structure of poly(1,3-pentadiene) chain and the new approaches for the quantitative calculation of number-average functionality at the α- and ω-end are proposed. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
