Mean-Square End-to-End Distance and Characteristic Ratio of Polyvinylene (Polyacetylene) Chains of Various Configurations

Abstract

Closed-form analytical expressions are derived for the mean-square end-to-end distance of unperturbed polyvinylene chains of various configurational structure with freely rotating main-chain single bonds.
