Facile synthesis of soluble aromatic poly(amide amine)s via C-N coupling reaction: Characterization, thermal, and optical properties

Abstract

Aromatic poly(amide amine)s (APAAs), as novel high‐performance polymers, have been obtained by the condensation polymerization of N,N'‐bis(4‐bromobenzoyl)‐p‐phenylenediamine with two different primary aromatic diamines via palladium‐catalyzed aryl amination reaction. The structures of the polymers are characterized by means of FTIR, 1H NMR spectroscopy, and elemental analysis, the results show a good agreement with the proposed structures. DSC and TGA measurements exhibit that polymers possess high glass transition temperature (Tg > 240 °C) and good thermal stability with high decomposition temperatures (T5 > 400 °C). These novel polymers also display good solubility. In addition, due to its special structure, APAA‐2 is endowed with significantly strong photonic luminescence in N,N‐dimethylformamide and good electroactivity. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J.

Recyclable Cu(II)‐Coordination Crosslinked Poly(benzimidazolyl pyridine)s as High‐Performance Polymers

“…Distinctly, PIEMpy‐5%–Cu 2+ showed higher thermal decomposition temperature than that of PIEMpy‐5%, owing to the metal‐coordination bonding interaction. Compared with most of the reported high‐performance polymer materials, the physical crosslinked PIEMpy‐5%–Cu 2+ also exhibited better thermal stability . Char yield is an easy and important measurement which correlates to the ability to sustain combustion.…”

“…High‐performance polymers have attracted great interest of many research groups and have been widely used in many areas, such as aerospace, machinery, electronics, etc., due to their excellent heat resistance, good chemical stability, and outstanding mechanical performance . In the last several decades, much attention has been focused on developing various synthetic strategies for preparing polymers with good processability and improved mechanical properties .…”

Synthesis of high-performance polymers via copper-catalyzed amination of dibromoarenes with primary aromatic ether diamines

“…And we have synthesized a series of novel high-performance polymers via palladium-catalyzed polycondensation (HartwigBuchwald reaction) of aromatic dichloro or dibromo ketones with various aromatic diamines. [11][12][13][14] However, after years of research about palladium catalysis, scientists gradually realize some of the shortcoming of it, including toxicity, high cost, air-sensitivity and the dependence to unstable and toxic organic phosphine ligands. In view of these drawbacks of palladium catalysis, the application of the resulting polymers is limited.…”

Rational design of a fluorescent poly(N-aryleneindole ether sulfone) switch by cation–π interactions

“…The fluorescence quantum yield (Φ F ) determined in DMF solution using quinine sulfate (Φ F = 0.55 in 1 M H 2 SO 4 ) as a standard was 49.0%. 17 Based on the literature precedent, PESIN is thought to easily bind with cations by cation-π interactions. 3e In addition, due to the presence of a "push-pull" π-electron mode in the main chain, when the guest is in binding with the sensor through the cation-π interactions, the distribution of the electron densities of the luminophores could be changed to give rise to the variations of optical signal.…”
