1956 Natta & Corradini in Jrnl. Polymer Sci. XX. 262 We propose to call all vinyl polymers with alternating d- and l-configurations of their substituents (like 1,2-polybutadiene) ‘syndyotactic’ polymers.

1964 Jrnl. Polymer Sci. B. 2 319 Predominantly isotactic addition may occur on heterogeneous surfaces, accompanied by conversion of the active complexes to form different..catalyst sites, which propagate predominantly syndiotactically.

syndiotacticity1959
1959 Jrnl. Polymer Sci. 34 9 Syndiotacticity is the corresponding arrangement. We can think of it as composed of positional and structural arrangements identical to those of isotacticity (repetition arrangements) and of a tacticity opposite to that of isotacticity (inversion tacticity).
1974 Nature 26 Apr. 758/1 If there is a high degree of syndiotacticity, a structure incorporating four monomer units per fibre repeat may be present.
