Summary The reactions of α,ω-diyne, HC≡C(CH2)mC≡CH (m = 6 and 8), with 3,3'-diaminobenzidine and with 3,3'-diamino-4,4'-dihydroxybiphenyl in the presence of RU3(CO)12-PPh3 catalyst give the corresponding poly(alkylenebenzoxazole)s and poly(alkylenebenzimidazole)s, respectively. The former polymers obtained from the equimolar reaction of the monomers are partly soluble in polar organic solvents such as DMF, DMSO, and NMP, while the poly(benzimidazole)s are soluble in these solvents. GPC measurement shows the molecular weights of the polymers, M n of 4.8−14.1×103 and M w of 6.4−19.7×103.
