Abstract
The conformations of fragments of the polycarbonate of 2,2 prime -bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane (hereafter abbreviated PC) have been the subject of several detailed studies in which quantum chemical and molecular mechanics methods have been used. The rotational isomeric state (RIS) model for this chain molecule has not been revised accordingly, and A. D. Williams and P. J. Flory's RIS scheme is usually used unchanged. The authors incorporate the newer structural and conformational data into a revised RIS model. Based mainly on the data provided by J. Bicerano and O. T. Clark and S. Perez and R. P. Scaringe, the authors formulate the RIS model. Statistical weight matrices and the associated sets of torsion angles are given.
