Aromatic polyimides with side chain nonlinear optical chromophores have been investigated through a facile two-step synthetic route. First, various poly(hydroxy imide)s have been synthesized by direct thermal imidization of diaminophenol dihydrochloride salt and aromatic dianhydride monomers. The re

β¦ Synopsis
Synthesis and characterization of DA(8/1)OMe (14-{4Π-[(methoxy)methoxy] biphenyl}-10,12-tetradecadiynoic acid) and DA(8/1)NBP (14-{4Π-[(nitro)methoxy] biphe-nyl}-10,12-tetradecadiynoic acid ) are presented. Monolayers of DA(8/1)OMe at gaswater interface were investigated. It does not form a stable monolayer nor does it undergo polymerization at the gas-water interface. However, the Ba 2Ο© and Cd 2Ο© salts formed stable monolayer that polymerized. Polymerization was confirmed by Raman spectroscopy. The diacetylene analog with the more polar tail group, DA(8/1)NBP, does not form a monolayer and undergo polymerization regardless of the subphase condition. A mixed monolayer of DA(8/1)OMe and DA(8/1)NBP forms a true monolayer if the composition of DA(8/1)NBP is 50% or less.
