The purpose of this work is to investigate the possibility of the production of novel metal coordinated polyimides. This research primarily focuses on novel metal complex assemblies of Sn(II) linked to the polymer molecule by a ligand containing an N-heterocyclic phenantroline unit in the main chain. Polyimide with phenantroline units in the main chain was synthesized utilizing condensation polymerization of aromatic dianhyrides and the bis(5-aminophenantroline)dichlorotin(II) to yield metal coordinated polyimides. Characterization by thermal analysis, refractive index, and dielectric analysis revealed distinct differences between these new materials and the classical polyimides.
