Application In Synthesis of 3-(4-Aminophenoxy)anilineIn 2014, Hsiao, Sheng-Huei;Chang, Pei-Chi;Wang, Hui-Min;Kung, Yu-Ruei;Lee, Tzong-Ming published 《Synthesis of a new class of triphenylamine-containing poly(ether-imide)s for electrochromic applications》. 《Journal of Polymer Science, Part A: Polymer Chemistry》published the findings. The article contains the following contents:
A novel triphenylamine (TPA)-containing bis(ether anhydride) monomer, namely 4,4′-bis(3,4-dicarboxyphenoxy)triphenylamine dianhydride, was synthesized and reacted with various aromatic diamines leading to a series of new poly(ether-imide)s (PEI). Most of these PEIs were soluble in organic solvents and could be easily solution cast into flexible and strong films. The polymer films exhibited good thermal stability with glass-transition temperatures in the range 211-299°. The polymer films exhibited reversible electrochem. processes and stable color changes (from transparent to navy blue) with high coloration efficiency and contrast ratio upon electro-oxidation During the electrochem. oxidation process, a crosslinked polymer structure was developed due to the coupling reaction between the TPA radical cation moieties in the polymer chains. These polymers can be used to fabricate electrochromic devices with high coloration efficiency, high redox stability, and fast response time. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym. Sci., Part A: Polym. Chem. 2014.3-(4-Aminophenoxy)aniline (cas: 2657-87-6) were involved in the experimental procedure.
3-(4-Aminophenoxy)aniline is one of ethers-buliding-blocks. Ethers lack the hydroxyl groups of alcohols. Without the strongly polarized O―H bond, ether molecules cannot engage in hydrogen bonding with each other. Application In Synthesis of 3-(4-Aminophenoxy)anilineEthers do have nonbonding electron pairs on their oxygen atoms, however, and they can form hydrogen bonds with other molecules (alcohols, amines, etc.) that have O―H or N―H bonds.
