On the high-resolution X-ray photoelectron spectrum of poly(ethylene terephthalate): the sensitivity to trans-gauche conformation

A recently suggested dependence of the C 1s core-level binding energy shift on the conformation of the glycol unit in PET is confirmed on the basis of ab initio calculations. The joint result shows that core-level X.p.s. spectroscopy may be employed to study polymer conformational properties.
