In this paper a mathematical treatment is developed for the developed for the calculation of the average percentage of right‐handed and left‐handed conformations of isotactic polymer chains having asymmetric side groups, all with the same optical sign, in unperturbed solution. This method derives the partition function of the infinite chains by a matrix formulation, allowing for neighbor interactions according to the ISING model; it leads to results which are in qualitative agreement with the experimental values of the optical rotation exhibited by polymer solutions at various temperatures.
