Macrocyclic polymer contg. phthalocyanine or porphyrin gps. - with high heat and dimensional stability, hardness and heat conductivity

摘要

Polymeric macrocyclic cpds. of formula (I) are claimed. In (I) X = -CN, -CC-, -O-CH2-CH2-O-, -O-, NH, -S-, or gp. of formulae (i)-(vii). Y = -CH=CH-CH=CH-, -CH=CH-, -N=N-, or -CCCC-; Porph(Me) = gp. with phthalocyanine or porphyrin structure, opt. with a central Me metal atom, with Porph arranged so that the normal principal plane is parallel to the direction of the chain; n = at least 10; m pref. = 2. (I) are prepd. by reacting stoichiometric amts. of a substd. metal phthalocyanine or porphyrin of formula Porph(Me)(Y')m and a cpd. yielding the residue (X), and the inner linkage of the prod. through the Y' substits. Y' = gp. convertible to Y. USE/ADVANTAGE - The polymers have a tubular structure, with conjugation forming through peripheral cross-linking, making charge transport possible and giving a conductivity of more than 10 power(+3) s/cm. They have high heat stability (less than 0.1% wt. loss at up to 300 deg.C), and high dimensional stability, hardness and heat conductivity. The polymers are suitable as electrical conductors, for electrodes and battery units, as whiskers for blends and for reinforcement, with introduction of specific functionality, as probe and sensor materials, as components for membranes and ion-exchangers, and as macromolecular units for grafting purposes.
