Isotactic polyolefins are semicrystalline polymers, and the polymer chains in the crystalline regions adopt helical conformations with right (R) or left (L) handed senses, and it is possible for the chains to independently adopt upward or downward orientations along c-axis. [1][2][3][4][5] Upward and downward orientations are defined in terms of differences between the z coordinate of the first lateral carbon, which is directly connected to the mainchain CH carbon, and the z coordinate of the main-chain CH carbon. This disorder commonly occurs in stereoregular crystalline polymers. The crystal structure of isotactic-poly(3-methyl-1-butene) (iP3M1B) has been investigated by XRD. 5,[8][9][10] All XRD results commonly indicated that iP3M1B adopts uniform 4 1 helical conformations. The most recent XRD investigation by Corradini, P. et al. revised that four uniform 4 1 helices are packed into a P2 1 /b monoclinic space group with unit parameters of a ) 9.55, b ) 17.08, c ) 6.84 Å, and γ ) 116.3°; 5 however, they could not conclude that either full limit order or full limit disorder related to the up and down orientations in the iP3M1B crystal existed, due to insufficient fiber diffraction resolution.High-resolution solid-state (SS) NMR has been successfully utilized for local structure analysis of polymers in the crystalline region as a comprehensive tool of XRD analysis. 6,7,[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] Structural disorders such as conformations and regio-and stereodefects in the crystalline region have been quantatively characterized by high-resolution SS NMR. 6,7 The packing structures of the crystalline polymers were also investigated by highresolution SS NMR 12-18 However, the observed NMR line shapes were attributed simply to symmetry of space group in full limit order, were not related with the packing disorders due to up and down orientations. 18 This might be attributed to very minor structural change due to substitution of up-and downward chains and insufficient NMR spectral resolutions. Therefore, improvement of the spectral resolution would be a key to elucidating real packing structures as well as further SS NMR analysis for understanding the crystal structures. In the past decade, a number of NMR techniques (e.g., fast magic-angle spinning (MAS), 19,20 powerful decoupling, 21 very high magnetic field, 22 and 2D chemical shift correlations 23-25 ) have been developed to improve spectral resolution and/or sensitivity. Combined use of modern techniques may allow us to obtain further structural information for the polymer crystals.In this communication, we apply two-dimensional (2D) refocused 13 C-13 C INADEQUATE technique through J-mediated interaction 25 and two-phase pulse modulated (TPPM) 21 decoupling to the iP3M1B crystal at a low temperature of 233 K. Consequently, we succeeded in significant improvement in NMR spectral resolution and will investigate the packing structures included in the iP3M1B crystal through the resolved NMR signals. We conclude that a combination of symmetry of space group an...
