Results obtained in the investigation of polymers containing pentavalent phosphorus in the main polymer chain are presented. A number of polyamides and polyesters derived from phosphorus-containing dicarboxylic acids have been synthesized. Two types of dicarboxylic acids were used: alkyl- or aryl-phosphinic acids (I) and bis-carboxyphenyl-phosphine oxides (II): their chloroanhydrides or esters being used in the reaction. To obtain polyesters, various glycols or dihydric phenols were used as the second component. For preparing polyamides, aliphatic diamines were used as the second component. The nature of the starting materials has a very marked effect on the properties of the polymers obtained. Polyesters with an aliphatic chain are viscous, thick oils or low-melting resins. Polyesters with aromatic unit are high-melting, solid elastic substances. Comparison of the properties of the polymers synthesized by us with the properties of polymers of related composition not containing phosphorus, shows that the introduction of phosphorus into the chain leads to molecules of much greater flexibility. For this reason the softening points of the phosphorus-containing polymers are much lower than those of their carbon analogues.
