Four kinds of stereoregular poly(muconic acid)s, which are synthesized by topochemical polymerization and subsequent solid‐state hydrolysis, are used as the organic host materials for intercalation. We describe the reaction behavior and layered structure of intercalation compounds using stereoregular poly(muconic acid)s and n ‐alkylamines as host and guest, respectively. The packing structure of the guest alkylamines was determined by X‐ray diffractions as well as IR and Raman spectroscopies. We have found that the orientation of the guest molecules is controlled by the host polymer tacticity, depending on the structure of the two‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonding network formed in the polymer sheets of the crystals.
