<p dir="auto">I am trying to build an EDOT polymer chain consisting of six monomer units. I want the chain to have an alternating conformation where the sulfur atoms flip direction with each subsequent unit (one sulfur pointing up, the next pointing down, etc., in an anti-coplanar arrangement).</p>
<p dir="auto">Attached are two figures: a 2D representation of what I want and a 3D chain obtained with Polymer Builder tool from SAMSON.<br />

Could anyone guide me on the best way to achieve this in SAMSON?</p>
<p dir="auto">Any tips, workflows, or script snippets would be greatly appreciated!</p>
<p dir="auto">Thanks in advance.</p>
