There are two series of benzisothiazoles, derived from benz[c]iso-thiazole (2) and benz[d]isothiazole (3), and both, if the benzene ring were suitable weakened, could doubtless be oxidized to isothiazole-dicarboxylic acids. In their first synthesis Adams and Slack...

Polyamides and polyesters containing ruthenimn bipyridine complexes in their structures have been synthesized by Chan and coworkers." " Scheme 14 depicts the synthesis of polymer 64 by reaction of the metal-containing dicarboxylic acid complex 61 and the organic dicarboxylic acid (62) with an aromatic or aliphatic diamine (63). These polymers were thermally stable to temperatures between 320 and 500°C. Many of the polymers exhibited liquid crystalline characteristics. The photoconductivity of this class of polymer increased with increasing metal content." Chan also reported that polybenzo-bw-oxazoles and polybenzo-Z>w-thiazoles that contain ruthenium complexes coordinated to 2,2 bipyridyl units in the backbone...
