AN A N A L Y S I S of the I R and X-ray spectra of liquid polypropylene specimer~s obtaine(t with the aid of a TiCI4-AI(C2Hs),C] catalyst led to the conclusion that the intensity of the 1154 and 976 cm --~ I R ban(is is a criterion of the isotacticity of this polymer. The bands are absent in spectra of atactic polypropylene and are present in isotactic specimens.
