The infrared spectra of a number of new ethers, amino derivatives, and sulfur-containing s-triazines have been obtained in the region between 3333 and 670 cm−1. An interpretation of the spectra is given and some new assignments are made In addition the existance of certain hydroxy and thiol derivatives in the keto and thioketo configuration is shown
SUMMARY: Rigid-rod benzobisthiazole (Bipy-PBZT), benzobisoxazole (Bipy-PBO) and benzobisimidazole (Bipy-PyBI) polymers containing 2,29-bipyridine-5,59-diyl moieties were synthesized from 2,29-bipyridine-5,59-dicarbonyl dichloride and one of the following monomers: 2,5-diamino-1,4-benzenedithiol, 4,6-diamino-1,3-benzenediol, and 2,3,5,6-tetraaminopyridine. Bipy-PyBI is the first rigid-rod benzobisimidazole polymer without any solubilizing pendants that exhibits lyotropic behavior. These polymers displayed thinfilm electrical conductivity of L10 -10 -10 -8 S/cm in pristine state; 10 -5 -10 -4 S/cm upon infiltration with AgNO 3 ; 25 -42 S/cm after Ag + e Ag 0 reduction by NaBH 4 .
SynopsisHydrolytically and thermooxidatively stable fluorocarbon ether bibenzoxazole (FEB) polymers were synthesized by the acetic acid-promoted polycondensation of fluorocarbon ether bis(o-aminophenol) monomers with novel fluorocarbon ether dithioimidate ester monomers. The dithioimidate esters were derived from hexafluoropropylene oxide (HFPO) or, preferably, from a combination of HFPO and tetrafluoroethylene oxide (TFEO). The latter class of TFE0:HFPO-derived dithioimidate esters imparted improved hydrolytic stability to the resultant FEB polymers while minimizing undesirable, concomitant increases in polymer glass transition temperatures. The polymers exhibited inherent viscosities in the range of 0.20 to 0.41 dl/g. Polymer structures were verified by elemental and infrared (IR) spectral analyses. Lower glass transition temperatures were obtained with increased fluorocarbon ether content, a minimum value of -48°C being achieved. High thermooxidative stability of the HFPO-and TFE0:HFPO-based FEB polymers was substantiated by thermogravimetric analysis and isothermal aging studies in air. After isothermal aging in air for 200 hr at 288 and 260"C, representative polymers exhibited weight losses of 17 and 7%, respectively. Hydrolytic stability of the polymers was evaluated by exposure to a 95% relative humidity, 93°C environment for prolonged periods of time. Based on comparative glass transition temperature, inherent viscosity, and IR spectral data, the HFPO-and TFE0:HFPO-based FEB polymers exhibited vastly improved hydrolytic stability over analogous TFEO-based FEB polymers. Optimum hydrolytic stability and low-temperature viscoelastic properties were achieved by the use of a TFEOHFPO-derived dithioimidate ester that did not contain structural isomers that would lead to sites of hydrolytic instability in the polymer backbone.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
