Abstract
Abstract1,2,5,6‐Tetraaminoanthraquinone has been condensed with isophthalaldehyde and terephthalaldehyde and their bisulfite addition compounds to yield new heat‐stable polymers. It has also been condensed with pyromellitic anhydride to give the pyrrolone. The highest viscosities were obtained in polymers prepared with acid catalysts. The polymers were nearly all soluble in concentrated sulfuric acid but not in organic solvents. Those soluble in sulfuric acid could also be solubilized by reduction with sodium dithionite and potassium hydroxide in aqueous organic solutions. A few polymers were apparently crosslinked, since they would not dissolve in either sulfuric acid or in base on reduction. Weak fibers were obtained by spinning the reduced alkaline solutions of the polymers into aqueous acid.
