29. We note that, as the structure of the monomer phase is known, structure determination of the polymer phase should still be feasible if the powder sample comprised a mixture of monomer and polymer phases. However, structure determination should clearly be more straightforward if the powder sample is a monophasic sample of the polymer phase.

34. The polymerization reaction was carried out by UV irradiation of a polycrystalline sample of DSP (ca. 0.5 g) in a vessel of 2.5 cm diameter [Oriel ultrahigh-pressure 200 W Hg(Xe) UV lamp; CVI Technical Optics 385 nm filter; current, 2 A; sample-to-lamp distance, ca. 13 cm]. The polycrystalline sample was occasionally subjected to manual "stirring" to minimize the chance that different crystallites (e.g., those originally at the top and bottom of the sample) would receive significantly different amounts of incident radiation within the total duration of the experiment. A total of 45 h of irradiation time under these conditions was sufficient to produce a sample for which the powder X-ray diffraction pattern was characteristic of the polymer phase, with no detectable peaks characteristic of the monomer phase. For shorter irradiation times (e.g., 20 h), powder X-ray diffraction indicated that the product was predominantly the polymer phase but with some residual peaks due to the monomer phase. In such cases, a pure sample of the polymer phase could be obtained by washing the sample with acetone. The powder X-ray diffraction pattern of the material after washing was identical to the powder X-ray diffraction pattern of the material obtained after long (45 h) irradiation time (i.e., pure polymer phase).

36. The significant background in the powder X-ray diffraction pattern provides possible evidence for an amorphous component, although we note that the majority of the background in the powder X-ray diffraction pattern can be attributed to scattering from the tape used to hold the sample in the foil sample holder (and recalling that the powder X-ray diffraction data were recorded in transmission mode). As the background is subtracted from the powder X-ray diffraction data in the structure determination calculations, the structural analysis discussed here considers only the Bragg scattering due to the crystalline polymer phase.
