Azole rings, such as oxazole and thiazole rings, can activate an aromatic ring bonded to a leaving group such as a halogen atom so that the aromatic ring will undergo aromatic nucleophilic substitution. The reaction is useful for making ethers, thioethers and amines containing azole rings. In particular, monomers having azole rings, activated aromatic rings with leaving groups and nucleophilic moieties can react under conditions of aromatic nucleophilic displacement to form non-rigid rob PBZ polymers. The non-rigid rod PBZ polymers can be used to form molecular composites with rigid rod PBZ polymers which molecular composites are not substantially phase separated.
唑环,如
噁唑和
噻唑环,可以激活与含卤原子等离子基团相结合的芳香环,从而使芳香环经历芳香亲核取代反应。该反应对于制备含有唑环的醚、
硫醚和胺很有用。特别是,具有唑环、激活的含有离去基团的芳香环和亲核基团的单体可以在芳香亲核取代条件下反应,形成非刚性杆P
BZ聚合物。非刚性杆P
BZ聚合物可用于与刚性杆P
BZ聚合物形成分子复合材料,这些分子复合材料基本上不会相分离。
