The microstructure and monomer sequence distribution of polypentadiene-1,3 obta-ined with naphthenate neodymium catalyst have been examined by IR.1H and 13C-NMR spectroscopy.The results show that 1,3-pentadiene enters in polymer chain predomin nantly as cis-1,4 unit (70% mole) and trans.1,2(25%mole) with minor fraction of trans-1,4 units (5%mole).Based on our new set of empirical parameters for calculat-ing chemical shifts,the assignment of carbons in the aliphatic region of 13C-NMR spe-ctra has been given.Thus cis-1,4,trans-1,4 and trans-1,2 units-and sequences of monomers can be identified by 13C-NMR spectroscopy.It is found that monomer units of the polypentadiene-1.3 exist only in head-to-tail structure without any head-to-head or tail-to-tail structure.Sequence of 1,4.1,2 has been also observed.In addition.we have measured the spin lattice relaxation times(T1) for carbons of cis-1,4 units.
