A detailed comparative study of polypyromellitamido acids and polyimid
es based on 2,5-bis(p-aminophenyl)pyrimidine and 4,4-diaminoterphenyl
was conducted to determine the role of the nitrogen-containing pyrimid
ine ring in the main chain of the polymers. A model of the layer packi
ng of polyimide chains in crystalline regions was proposed based on th
e data from x-ray structural analysis and quantum chemical calculation
s. The existence of tilted packing caused by partial displacement of t
he solvent molecules bound to the pyrimidine ring of the neighboring m
acromolecule with higher basicity in pyrimidine-containing polymers wa
s hypothesized.
