Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The structure and conformation of semicrystalline poly[bis(phenoxy)phosphazene] (PBPP) was studied using molecular mechanics including ad hoc quantum mechanically derived force field (FF) parameters, in combination with the energy-dispersive X-ray diffraction (EDXD) technique. The atom-atom radial distribution function (RDF) curves were calculated for the various models of backbone conformations and for the structure in the crystalline α-form of PBPP. On the basis of comparison between theoretically calculated RDFs with the RDF obtained from the EDXD experiment, a model was proposed. The structural features of this model are (i) the polymer backbone adopts a low-energy, planar, trans-cis [TC] conformation, (ii) each chain is, on average, comprised of 16 monomeric units, and (iii) the unit cell may be restricted to contain two such chains running antiparallel to each other and with their backbones aligned parallel to the (1,1,0) Miller plane. The results demonstrate the capability of the combined use of computational chemistry (molecular modeling) and X-ray diffraction techniques such as EDXD to provide insights, otherwise experimentally inaccessible, into the conformational and structural features of semicrystalline polyphosphazenic materials. © 1999 American Chemical Society.
