Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main"> <title>ABSTRACT</title> <p>Aromatic poly(amide amine)s (APAAs), as novel high‐performance polymers, have been obtained by the condensation polymerization of <italic>N, N</italic>'‐bis(4‐bromobenzoyl)‐<italic>p</italic>‐phenylenediamine with two different primary aromatic diamines via palladium‐catalyzed aryl amination reaction. The structures of the polymers are characterized by means of FTIR, ¹H NMR spectroscopy, and elemental analysis, the results show a good agreement with the proposed structures. DSC and TGA measurements exhibit that polymers possess high glass transition temperature (<italic>T</italic>_g<italic>&gt;</italic> 240 °C) and good thermal stability with high decomposition temperatures (<italic>T</italic>₅ &gt; 400 °C). These novel polymers also display good solubility. In addition, due to its special structure, APAA‐2 is endowed with significantly strong photonic luminescence in <italic>N</italic>, <italic>N</italic>‐dimethylformamide and good electroactivity. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
