Notes:
A variety of model compounds for the pyrimidinediyl-based rigid-rod polyamide poly[imino-(pyrimidine-2,5-diyl)-imino-tetraphthaloyl] (PPYMT) was prepared, in order to compare their conformations to several model compounds of the related, fully aromatic polymer poly(p-phenyleneterephthalamide) (PPTA). In particular, the structures of N-(2-pyrimidyl)benzamide (PYMB) and its complexed form bis[(N-pyrimidin-2-yl)benzamide]nickel(II) dichloride (NiPYMB) were determined by X-ray diffraction. The molecular packing in these crystals provides us with a model for the possible ‘cross-linking’ of PPYMT fibers. The structures of the trimer model compounds N,N′ -bis(2-pyrimidyl)terephthalamide (PYTA) and N,N′ -bis(benzoyl)-2,5-diaminopyrimidine (BDAP) yield information about the conformation of PPYMT chains and are compared to analogous model compounds of PPTA.
