The oligo(azomethine ether)s were synthesized

via

polycondensation of alkyl diamines with aromatic dialdehydes. Two series of dialdehydes

namely 2

2′-[1

2-phenylenebis(methyleneoxy)]dibenzaldehyde [2

2′-1

2-(PBMODB)]

and 2

2′-[1

4-phenylenebis(methyleneoxy)]dibenzaldehyde [2

2′-1

4-(PBMODB)]

were prepared from the condensation reactions of salicylaldehyde with o-xylenedibromide and p-xylenedibromide

respectively. The structures of dialdehydes and oligomers were determined by FT-IR

1

H-NMR and

13

C-NMR. The thermal analyses of oligomers were conducted by DSC and TG/DTA techniques

respectively. Size exclusion chromatography (SEC) technique was also used to determine molecular weights and molecular weight distributions of oligomers. Electrochemical properties of the synthesized products were investigated.
