U. Tiesler et al., SYNTHESIS AND PROPERTIES OF STIFF-CHAIN POLYESTERS BASED ON THE TERPHENYL MOIETY, Molecular crystals and liquid crystals science and technology. Section A, Molecular crystals and liquid crystals, 243, 1994, pp. 299-311
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.
