constitutional sequence

in polymers
Also contains definitions of: diads in polymers, tetrads in polymers, triads
https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.C01287
The whole or part of a
chain
comprising one or more species of
constitutional unit(s)
in defined
sequence
.
Note:
Constitutional sequences comprising two constitutional units are termed diads, those comprising three constitutional units triads, and so on. In order of increasing
sequence
lengths they are called tetrads, pentads, hexads, heptads, octads, nonads, decads, undecads, etc.
