Polyimides containing 1,4-dithiine units and corresponding thiophene units
were synthesized by the nucleophilic substitution reaction of bis(dichloro-
maleimide) arylene derivatives with sodium sulfide. Their structures were c
onfirmed by IR and UV spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The polymers wer
e characterized by viscosimetric measurements, softening points and thermog
ravimetric data.
