Summary
It is shown that the probability for the formation of alternating macromolecules by monomer donor-acceptor complexes can be determined from the microtacticity of the copolymers. If the stereoregularity in the alternating copolymerization is described by the Bernoullian trial two other probabilities concerning the meso-diad formation can be determined by this method. If the stereoregularity is described by the first order Markov chain the transition probabilities can be calculated. Thus a more detailed analysis of the propagation mechanism in alternating copolymerization can be carried out.
