Four monomers containing azomethine-type spaces and 1-naphthyl groups at th
e extremities were synthesized by a coupling reaction between 1-naphthalde-
hyde with four different diamines. Full conjugated polyazomethines were obt
ained by oxidative polymerization of the monomers using anhydrous FeCl3. Bo
th monomers and polymers were investigated by IR, UV-Vis and H-1 NMR method
