A new class of unsaturated polyesters based on diethylketone have been prepared by interfacial polymerization of 2

4-bis(4-hydroxybenzylidene)-3-pentanone (I) and 2

4-bis(4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzylidene)-3-pentanone (II) with 4

4'-azodibenzoyl chloride and 3

3'-azodibenzoyl chloride at ambient temperature. The model compounds were synthesized by reaction of (I) and (II) with benzoyl chloride. The new monomers

model compounds and polyesters have been characterized by different spectral analyses. The polyesters have inherent viscosity of 0.55−0.80 dL/g and moderate number average molecular weight (

) in the range of 6150−7400 g/mol. Most of the compounds exhibited their solubility in aprotic solvents while partial solubility in various halogenated organic solvents was observed. The temperatures of 10% weight loss were high (225‒330 ℃) in nitrogen

indicating that these polyesters have excellent thermal stability. Doping with iodine dramatically raised the conductivity and produced brown colored semiconductive polymers with a maximum conductivity of 2.7 × 10
