Synthesis and characterization of extended poly(phenylquinoxalines) containing carbonyl,ether and sulphide linking groups

Abstract

A series of eight novel extended poly(phenylquinoxalines) (PPQs) containing carbonyl, ether and sulphide linking groups were prepared by polycondensation of 4,4'-bis(phenylglyoxalyl-4-phenoxy-4'-benzoyl)diphenyl sulphide, I-D, and 4,4'-bis(phenyl glyoxalyl-4-phenylthio-4'-benzoyl)diphenyl sulphide, 2-D, with four aromatic bis(o-diamines) in m-cresol. The primary objective of this study was to correlate the effect of these linkages on the various properties such as solubility, thermal stability and glass transition temperature of the PPQs. Polymerization of 1-D was carried out in an oil bath maintained at 195-200C whereas polymerization of 2-D was performed at ambient temperature. The polymers prepared were soluble in m-cresol. dimethylsulphoxide, N,N-dimethylacetamide, I-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone and chlorinated hydrocarbon solvents, and formed tough transparent, yellow fingernail-creasable films from chloroform solutions. The inherent viscosities ranged between 0.44 and 0.96 dl g' '. The glass transition temperatures were nearly identical for both systems and ranged from 217-231 'C for polymers prepared from l-D and from 215-233"C for polymers prepared from 2-D. The PPQs having carbonyl and stJlphide linking groups had higher thermal stability in comparison to PPQs having carbonyl, ether and sulphide linkages. The temperature of 10% weight loss for I-D ranged from 484-496 'C in air and 485-516"C in helium whereas those for 2-D ranged from 538-579 XC in air and 522-549 in helium.
