A thermal stable aromatic polyimide (PI) with side-chain second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) chromophores has been developed. The PI was prepared by the ring-opening polyaddition of 4,4ะ-(hexafluoroisopropylidene)diphthalic anhydride with a new diamine having two N-ethyl-N-[4-[(6-chlorobenzothiazol

โฆ Synopsis
A two-step, generally applicable synthetic approach for nonlinear optical (NLO) side-chain polyimides was developed. This included the preparation of a preimidized, organosoluble polyimide with benzene moiety pendant from main chains, followed by the covalent bonding of the NLO chromophores onto the polyimide backbone via a post-azo-coupling reaction. The degree of functionalization of polyimides was estimated by UV-VIS spectroscopy. The glass transition temperature (T g ) of a polyimide decreased by only 10 -20ยฐC after the functionalization, which was much smaller than the decrease in T g when the chromophores were chemically bonded to the polyimide main chains through an ether linkage using a post-Mitsunobu condensation. The solubility and thermal stability of polyimides were also studied.
