In order to understand polymer solution behaviour, the samples have to be characterised with respect to their molecular configuration, their molar mass and polydispersity, the polymer concentration and the shear rate. Classical techniques of polymer characterisation (light scattering, viscometry, ultracentrifugation, etc.) yield information on the solution structure and conformation of single macromolecules, as well as on the thermodynamic interactions with the solvent. In technical concentrations the behaviour of the dissolved polymer is more complicated because additional intramolecular and intermolecular interactions between polymer segments appear. 

For polyatomic molecules the situation is somewhat more complex but essentially the same. The effect of intramolecular motion upon the scattering of fast electrons by molecular gases was first described by Debye3 for the particular case of a molecular ensemble at thermal equilibrium. The corresponding average molecular intensity function can be expressed in the following way ...

Intramolecular crosslinking of PVS [217], Reaction conditions PVS concentration = 0.975 mass % AIBN concentration = 1.65X10 3 M temperature = 70 °C n-butylmercaptan (chain transfer agent) concentration = 20 mL/L reaction time = 25 min. The Mw and Mn were measured by light scattering and membrane osmometry respectively.

This author is perfectly aware that he could add very little to the work done by these workers if an attempt was made to focus on intramolecular catalysis phenomena or on the relevance to cyclisation of available models of chain conformation and chain dynamics instead, the aim will be the presentation of a general treatment of the subject, namely, one that includes the cyclisation of very short chains as well as that of very long chains of, say, 100 atoms or more. With a subject as vast as this, an encyclopaedic review would be a hopeless task. Therefore, the subject will be treated in a systematic and critical way, with more concentration on reaction series with regular and wide variations in structure, rather than on scattered examples. The aim will be to show that the field of intramolecular reactions is a mature area in which the merging of concepts from both physical organic chemistry and polymer chemistry leads to a unified treatment of cyclisation rates and equilibria in terms of a few simple generalisations and theories. 

We can see from Figure 7 that for momentum transfers larger than about 3 A-1 in PB, i.e., starting around the second maximum, one observes only intramolecular correlations in the melt structure factor112-114 when one considers only scattering from the united atom centers. The melt structure factor can always be decomposed into a chain contribution (Sck(q)) and a contribution that captures the correlations between distinct melt chains (S,nj(c])). 

The scattering function can be expanded for low values of q. The expansion coefficients correspond to high moments involving summations of powers of different intramolecular distances (it is well known that the mean quadratic ra-... 

To conclude, it seems that the nature of the anharmonic coupling between a high frequency intramolecular mode and a thermally excited low frequency mode is understood. It turns out that the strength of the influence on the infrared spectrum critically depends on the values of (Oq, Sm and t. However, we have to wait for more experimental data on these low frequency modes, probably obtained with the helium atom scattering technique, bdbre we can make more definite conclusions.
