Notes:
Two diamines with potential non-linear optical characteristics, (E)-4, 4′-[[[2-(4-pyridinyl)ethenyl]phenyl]methylene]bis[benzenamine] (2a) and (E)-4, 4′-[[[2-(4-pyridinyl)ethenyl]phenyl]methylene]bis [N-ethylbenzenamine] (2b), were condensed with dianhydrides, benzophenone tetracarboxylic dianhydride and pyromellitic dianhydride, to obtain polyamic acids. These polyamic acids were soluble in polar aprotic solvents such as dimethyl formamide and dimethyl acetamide, and could be cast into transparent, tough and flexible films, which on cyclodehydration yield amorphous thermally stable polyimides. Characterisation using IR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry are reported.
