Re: How to draw the repeat unit of this polymer?Have three of the points of the pentagon coming off the main chain, and the other two as part of the main chain. Hope that makes sense.(Original post by InadequateJusticex)
Poly(cyclopropene)? I have a vague idea but I just want some confirmation...
Sorry I thought that said cyclopentane!
I would have the two carbons in the repeat unit connected to one carbon outside of the main chain.Last edited by clownfish; 14-05-2012 at 19:52. -

Ah thanks guys
how about a more complicated one like cyclohexene?
You should see the pattern emerging. Basically ensure you always only have two carbon atoms across the centre of the polymer diagram with sticks going out through the brackets. -

I would rep again but I can't so I'll try again in a few days
