Notes:
In previous studies on poly{(7-oxo-7, 10H-benz[de]imidazo[4′,5′:5,6]-benzimidazo-[2,1-a]isoquinoline-3,4:10,11-tetrayl)-10-carbonyl} it was observed that the polymer exhibits very unusual film-forming properties. The ladder polymer forms supermolecular aggregates in solution which translates to a high degree of interchain packing in the bulk. New ladder imidazoisoquinoline polymers have been prepared in an effort to relate the variance of molecular structure to the aggregation behavior of this class of polymers. The polymers were prepared from the solution polycondensation of 1,4,5,8-naphthalene tetracarboxylic acid or dianhydride with 1,2,5,6-tetraaminonaphthalene, 2,3,7,8-tetraaminophenazine and 2,3,7,8-tetraaminodibenzofuran. It was found that the extent of interchain packing in the bulk is dependent to a large degree on the molecular geometry of the polymer backbone.
