“…The synthesis of the copoly(benzoxazole) imides is given in Scheme and the detailed procedure is given in the Supporting Information. A suitable diamine monomer (2,6-bis( p -aminophenyl)benzo[1,2- d ;5,4- d ′]bisoxazole) (bisoxazole diamine) containing the preformed benzobisoxazole unit was synthesized in PPA at 170 °C using 4-aminobenzoic acid and DADHB, following the literature procedure . The diaminobisoxazole monomer was condensed with perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA) or 1,4,5,8-naphthalenetetracarboxylic dianhydride (NTCDA) to form the polyimides PerPBO or NapPBO in a one-step imidization in m -cresol and isoquinoline at 180−210 °C in good yields.…”
