“…89,[94][95][96][97][98][99] And, some benzidine (BZ) derivatives with short side groups are also available: 2,2'-bis(methyl)benzidine (MEBZ), 2,2'-bis(methoxy)benzidine (MEOBZ), 2,2'-bis (fluoro) benzidine (FBZ), 2,2'-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzidine (CF3BZ), 3,3'-hydroxy-4,4'-diaminobiphenyl (HAB), and o-tolidine (TDI). 90,92,95,135 On the other hand, several research groups 91,93,100-103 have attempted to incorporate short side groups into pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA). As results of their efforts, some PMDA derivatives are available from only those research groups: 3,6-dimethyloxypyromellitic dianhydride (DMEOPMDA), 1-trifluoromethyl-2,3,5,6-benzenetetracarboxylic dianhydride (CF3DAN), and 1,4-bis(trifluoromethyl)-2,3,5,6-benzenetetracarboxylic dianhydride (DCF3DAN).…”
