The product of the thermal polymerization of ß-carboxymethyl caprolactam has been identified as a poly[(2,6-dioxo-1,4-piperidinediyl)trimethylene]. An indication of various chain conformations has been explained by the possible existence of two different conformations of the dioxopiperidine moiety. One conformation pertains to an equatorial position of the trimethylene moiety with respect to the plane of the imide group. The other is derived from a structural unit in which the trimethylene group is positioned axially to the plane of the ring. While the former conformation has been ascribed to the crystalline modification the latter appears to be the predominant structure of the polymer in formic acid solution as indicated by NMR analysis. In the glassy state the macromolecule is assumed to be composed of segments of either conformation. The unoriented linear polymer crystallizes upon annealing in positively birefringent spherulites. A triclinic unit cell with the following parameters: a = 9.64 A., b = 11.32 A., c = 15.80 A., α = 98°, β = 96°, γ = 114° has been found to contain eight structural units. The calculated density, 1.30 g./cm.3, agrees with experimental data. A crystal structure is proposed on the basis of the x-ray data.
