New dicarboxybisimide monomers have been synthesized. Polyimidophospho
anhydrides are prepared by reacting dicarboxybisimides with dichloroph
enylphosphine oxide by the two phase polycondensation in dichlorometha
ne-aq alkaline solution using a phase transfer catalyst and characteri
zed by melting point, elemental analysis, viscosity measurement, molec
ular weight determination, ESCA study, IR, PMR and P-31-NMR spectral d
ata and X-ray diffraction studies. The thermal properties and flame re
tardancy of the polymers have been evaluated.
