Notes:
Several polybenzimidazoles containing cardo groups were prepared: A cardodicarboxylic acid, 9,9-bis(4-carboxyphenyl)fluorene, and two cardotetramines, 9,9-bis(3,4-diaminophenyl)fluorene and 9,9-bis(3,4-diaminophenyl)10-anthrone. The cardodicarboxylic acid was condensed with aromatic tetramines and the cardotetramines were condensed with aromatic dicarboxylic acids. Prior to polymer synthesis two model compounds, 9,9-bis[4,(2-benzimidazolyl)phenyl]fluorene and 2,2′-diphenyl-5,5′-(9,9-fluorenediyl)-bibenzimidazole were prepared and characterized by spectral methods. The polymers were obtained in 60-70% yield and showed reduced viscosity in the range of 0.7-1.1 dL/g. They were soluble in dimethyl formamide (DMF) and chlorinated solvents like tetrachlorethane. The thermal stabilities of these cardopolymers were superior to noncardopoly-benzimidazoles.
