A new quinoxaline moiety containing aromatic diamine; 2,3-bis[4-(4-aminophenoxy)phenyl]quinoxaline (APQ) was synthesized starting from 4-methoxybenzaldehyde and was characterized by IR, (1)H, (13)C NMR and Mass spectrometry. Five new polyamides were synthesized by polycondensation of various aliphatic diacid / aromatic diacids namely, azelaic acid, bis(4-carboxyphenyl)dimethylsilane, 4,4'-oxybis(benzoicacid), isophthalic acid and terephthalic acid with APQ by Yamazaki's phosphorylation method using triphenyl phosphite as condensing agent. The polyamides were characterized by IR spectroscopy, solubility tests, inherent viscosity, X-ray diffraction technique, differential scanning colorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis. The polyamides had inherent viscosities in the range 0.39-0.45 dL/g in N, N-dimethylacetamide at 30 +/- 0.1 A degrees C. The polyamides were soluble in polar aprotic solvents such as N, N-dimethylacetamide, N, N-dimethylformamide, dimethylsulfoxide, N-methylpyrrolidone. X-Ray diffraction studies showed that polyamides were amorphous in nature. The polyamides showed glass transition temperatures in the range 104-205 A degrees C, according to differential scanning calorimetry. Thermogravimetric analysis exhibited initial decomposition temperatures above 348 A degrees C; indicating that these polyamides possessed excellent thermal stability.
