Notes:
A series of polyamides which contained thianthrene, phenoxatiin, and dibenzo-p-dioxin units was synthesized from tricyclic fused-ring diamines and aromatic diacid chlorides by solution polycondensations at a low temperature. The amorphous polyisophthalamides were highly soluble in polar organic solvents, whereas some of the polyterephthalamides with a fair degree of crystallinity were insoluble. The solubility of the series of polyamides increased in the order of the dibenzo-p-dioxin-containing polymers 〈 phenoxatiin-containing polymers 〈 thianthrene-containing polymers. The thermal stability increased in the reverse order and the dibenzo-p-dioxinpolyamides were more thermostable than the corresponding open-chain polymers with diphenyl ether linkages. The polyamides derived from 2,8-oriented tricyclic diamines showed somewhat lower glass transition temperatures than those from 2,7-oriented diamines.
