The conformational statistics of atactic polystyrene have been investigated by solid-state NMR, on a sample labeled with 25% (CH2)-C-13 groups. Double-quantum pulse sequences are used to select statistically formed C-13-C-13 spin pairs. An experiment correlating the C-13-C-13 infemuelear vector with the C-13 chemical-shift anisotropy determines the conformational statistics of a single backbone torsion angle. Double-quantum experiments correlating the (CH2)-C-13 chemical-shift anisotropies of two adjacent segments provide information on two consecutive torsion angles. The analysis of the spectra yields a trans content of 68% (+/-10%). This represents the first direct experimental estimate of the trans/gauche ratio in atactic polystyrene. The trans content found here agrees well with rotational-isomeric-state models but is inconsistent with results from more elaborate atomistic models that take packing effects into account.
