Abstract
The synthesis and the characterization of rigid-rod polyesters 2 and 3 deriving from 2',5'-dihexyl-p-terphenyl-4,4''-diol 7 and from 2',5'-d ihexyl-p-terphenyl-4,4''-dicarboxylic dichloride 8 together with a fac ile synthesis of monomers 7 and 8 is described. It is shown that these polyesters exhibit a very good solubility in common organic solvents. Therefore these materials present interesting model compounds for com prehensive studies of rigid-rod polymers in solution.
