Abstract
The mechanism of solid state polymerization of multilayers of heptadecadiyne-4,6-ol-1 and heptadecadiyne-4,6-acid-1 were studied. In each case the multilayers showed the same type of phase transition on polymerization as is observed in the bulk crystals. The crystalline packing of the multilayers was found to be the same as in the corresponding bulk materials. Finally a comparison of the behavior of the alcohol and the acid was made. Unlike in the alcohol polymer, the greater volume change on phase transition leads to crack formation in the acid polymer.
