Abstract

A novel conformational searching scheme is employed to identify low energy structures for low-degree polymers of 3-phenyl-1-ureidonitrile, a proposed thin film data storage material. Vibrational analysis of the predicted polymer structures is consistent with experimental reports and supports the experimentally proposed polymerization mechanism.
