F-hb-PAEPO

Satpathi et al. [78] synthesized an AB2 monomer containing pendant -CF3 groups, namely bis-(4-fluoro-3-trifluoromethylphenyl)-4 -hydroxy-phenylphosphine oxide, which was self-condensed to afford fluorinated hb-poly(arylene ether phosphine oxide) (F-hb-PAEPO) (Scheme 2.19). A high molar mass of M 6,16,000 g/mol was achieved with D = 1.4. The F-hb-PAEPO was completely soluble in a wide range of organic solvents, namely CHCI3, CH2CI2, THF, NMP, DMF, DMSO, DMAc, and acetone at room temperature.
