Triptycene Polyimides: Soluble Polymers with High Thermal Stability and Low Refractive Indices

A series of soluble, thermally stable aromatic polyimides were synthesized using commercially available five- and six-membered ring anhydrides and 2,6-diaminotriptycene derivatives. All of these triptycene polyimides (TPIs) were soluble in common organic solvents despite their completely aromatic st...
