Abstract
Aromatic polyamides (aramids) featuring dual triarylamine cores in the repeating unit were synthesized through phosphorylation polyamidation using 4,4′-oxydibenzoic acid and three bis(triarylamine)-diamine monomers, each with varying aromatic π-bridges, specifically 1,4-phenylene, naphthalene-2,6-diyl, and pyrene-1,6-diyl groups. These aramids demonstrated excellent solubility in polar organic solvents, enabling the formation of flexible and robust films via solution casting. They demonstrated significant thermal stability, characterized by moderate glass transition temperatures (236–262 °C), negligible weight loss below 400 °C, and high char yields (exceeding 60 % at 800 °C in nitrogen). The polymer films displayed reversible redox processes and pronounced color changes during cyclic voltammetry scanning within the range of 0–1.2 V. The structural effects of the aromatic π-bridges between the triarylamine cores on both the oxidation potential and electrochromic stability of the aramids were investigated. Notably, for aramids with greater separation between the triarylamine centers, the oxidation onset potential increased, while electrochromic stability decreased.
期刊介绍:
Dyes and Pigments covers the scientific and technical aspects of the chemistry and physics of dyes, pigments and their intermediates. Emphasis is placed on the properties of the colouring matters themselves rather than on their applications or the system in which they may be applied.
Thus the journal accepts research and review papers on the synthesis of dyes, pigments and intermediates, their physical or chemical properties, e.g. spectroscopic, surface, solution or solid state characteristics, the physical aspects of their preparation, e.g. precipitation, nucleation and growth, crystal formation, liquid crystalline characteristics, their photochemical, ecological or biological properties and the relationship between colour and chemical constitution. However, papers are considered which deal with the more fundamental aspects of colourant application and of the interactions of colourants with substrates or media.
The journal will interest a wide variety of workers in a range of disciplines whose work involves dyes, pigments and their intermediates, and provides a platform for investigators with common interests but diverse fields of activity such as cosmetics, reprographics, dye and pigment synthesis, medical research, polymers, etc.
