Synthesis of novel high-performance polymers via Pd-catalyzed amination of dibromoarenes with primary aromatic diamines
A series of novel polymers have been obtained by the condensation polymerization of different dibromoarenes with different primary aromatic diamines via palladium-catalyzed aryl amination reaction. The structures of polymers are characterized by means of FT-IR, H-1 NMR spectroscopy, and elemental analysis; the results show an agreement with the proposed structure. DSC and TG measurements show that polymers possess high glass transition temperature (T-g > 170 degrees C) and good thermal stability with high decomposition temperatures (T-D > 450 degrees C). Thesis novel polymers also exhibit good mechanical behavior and good solubility.
