Abstract
The Stille coupling reaction was explored to synthesize novel polymers with a pending NLO chromophore exhibiting a large μβ value but high chemical sensitivity. This approach enabled the synthesis of aromatic polyimides through the careful design of dibromo monomers bearing NLO chromophores. The resulting polyimide was shown to possess a glass transition temperature of 170°C and a large electrooptic coefficient.
