Polyazomethine의 합성과 전도성
Synthesis and Electrical Conductivity of Polyazomethine
This paper compares the electrical conductivity of three related conjugated and
pseudoconjugated polyazomethine. The polymers were prepared by the condensation of
glyoxal with p-phenylene diamine, benzidine and p,p''-diamino-diphenylene ether in
DMSO respectively. IR absorption spectroscopy was used to elucidate the structure of
polymers. The characteristic peak of polyazomethine, carbon-nitrogen double bond was
found to absorb at 1600-1620 cm-1. It was insoluble in common organic
solvents and only slightly soluble in concentrated sulfuric acid . Electrical conductivities
of polyazomethines measured by a 4-point probe technique were comparable to that of
polyactylene (PA), poly (p-phenylene) (PPP) and polyazine.
