The configuration of vinyl polymers has been conventionally described by either Bovey's or Price's formalism. In this work, the relationships between these two formalisms are derived, and their relevance to polymerization mechanisms is delineated. Experimental data for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) pertaining to either chain‐end control or catalytic‐site control are tested using the computerized “analytical approach.” Suitable polymeric systems are illustrated.
