Abstract New aromatic polyamides containing cardo groups and triphenylphosphine oxide structures were synthesized by a heterogeneous palladium-catalyzed carbonylation and condensation of bis(4-(3-iodophenoxy)phenyl)phenylphosphine oxide (BIPPO), aromatic diamines bearing cardo groups, and carbon monoxide. Polycondensations were carried out in N,N-dimethylacetamide under 1  atm of CO at 120 °C in the presence of a magnetically recyclable heterogeneous palladium catalyst and 1,8-diaza-bicyclo[5,4,0]-7-undecene (DBU) and afforded novel aromatic polyamides with inherent viscosities between 0.72 and 0.76 dL/g. All the polyamides were quite soluble in dipolar aprotic solvents and pyridine and could be converted into transparent, flexible, and tough polyamide films by casting from DMAc solutions. These polymers exhibited high thermal and thermooxidative stability with the glass transition temperatures of 237  °C–256  °C, the temperatures at 5% weight loss of 448 °C–465 °C in air. All the phosphorus-containing polyamides self-extinguished as soon as the flame was removed, and the limited oxygen indices (LOIs) of these polymers were in the range of 39%–44%. The polymer films also showed good mechanical properties and high optical transparency.

Introduction Wholly aromatic polyamides, or aramids, are high-performance polymeric materials characterized by their outstanding thermal and mechanical properties, good chemical and flame resistance as well as electrical insulating performance and have been widely utilized in military, transportation, and other high-tech fields [1–7]. However, macromolecular chain stiffness provided by high density of aromatic rings and strong interchain attractive forces due to hydrogen bond lead to high melting temperatures and limited solubility in most organic solvents, which result in their poor processability and restrict their applications to some extent. Therefore, the synthesis of organosoluble high-performance aromatic polyamides is highly desirable, and modifications of aromatic polyamide structures have received much attention. Numerous attempts have been recently made to improve their processability without much impairing their thermal and mechanical properties. The successful methods used for the improvement in solubility includ
