About the nomenclature of like and unlike The meso and racemo nomenclature commonly used for vinyl monomer diads, are not applicable to the head-to-tail polyketone because the junchon unit between the two stereocenters, -CH2-C(=0)-, is not symmetric. Poly(a-amino acid)s and poly(propylene oxide) are other examples of polymers with asymmetric (W. V. Metanomski, Compendium of Macromolecular Nomenclature, lUPAC Macromolecular division). Accordingly, the words like and unlike, which are used in organic chemistry, are applied like (/) is used for the diad consisting of the same configuration (analogous to meso) and unlike ( ) for the opposite (analogous to racemo).
