Synthesis of a highly thermally stable octupolar polyimide for nonlinear optics

Chem Commun (Camb). 2001 Dec 7:(23):2430-1. doi: 10.1039/b108099g.

Abstract

A new polyimide with covalently incorporated 4,4'-bis-(dialkylaminostyryl)-2,2'-bipyridine chromophores is described which allows the synthesis of the corresponding NLO octupolar metallo-polymer.
