Based on several unsymmetrical,twist,noncoplanar phthalazinone-containing monomers 2a-2e and an active bis(4-fluorophenyl)phenyl phosphine oxide(BFPPO) monomer,a series of novel poly(phthalazinone ether phosphine oxide)s (PPEPO) was synthesized by anhydrous K;CO;mediated N—C coupling reaction in DMAc.The polymers exhibited good thermal properties with T;s ranging from 267℃to 306℃and 5%weight loss temperatures in nitrogen higher than 430℃, together with high char yield upon prolonged heating at 800℃(35%—56%).Moreover,the polymers were readily soluble in common organic solvents,such as N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone,chloroform and m-cresol.These polymers had inherent viscosities in the range of 0.45-0.72 dL/g and could be cast into flexible and colorless films by spin coating or casting approach.
