Pyridine-based tridentate ligand containing pendant NMe2 unit was used to prepare novel polyimides via one-stage solution polycondensation due to their stability under a variety of oxidative and reductive conditions. Ru (II) complex of the pydim ligand was synthesized starting from [RuCl2 (p-cymene)](2) and 2,6-bis [1-(p-dimethylaminophenylimino) ethyl] pyridine. A series of stable polyimides were synthesized from Ru (II) complex of 2,6-bis [1-(p-dimethylaminophenylimino) ethyl] pyridine (2) and various aromatic dianhyrides had inherent viscosities ranging from 1.31 to 1.55 dL/g and were soluble in polar solvents. The glass transition temperatures were 245-308 degreesC, and the 10% weight loss temperatures were above 482-548 degreesC.
