SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF POLY(1-BENZOYLSEMICARBAZIDE) AND POLY(1,3,4-OXADIAZOLE AMINE) FROM 2-(P-AMINOPHENYL)-1,3,4-OXADIAZOLIN-5-ONE VIA RING-OPENING
Y. Saegusa et al., SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF POLY(1-BENZOYLSEMICARBAZIDE) AND POLY(1,3,4-OXADIAZOLE AMINE) FROM 2-(P-AMINOPHENYL)-1,3,4-OXADIAZOLIN-5-ONE VIA RING-OPENING, Macromolecular rapid communications, 17(10), 1996, pp. 667-673
A novel thermally stable and semiconducting polyheterocycle, poly(1,3,
4-oxadiazole amine), was synthesized from 2-(p-aminophenyl)-1,3,4-oxad
iazolin-5-one via ring-opening. The polymer is a new class of ordered
alternating copoly(aniline) containing 1,3,4-oxadiazole heterocyclic u
nits. The polymer is highly thermally stable and exhibits no weight lo
ss up to 370 degrees C in air. Its electric conductivity is less than
10(-10) S . cm(-1) at ambient temperature, but markedly increases to 6
,5 . 10(-7) S . cm(-1) upon doping with iodine.
