Soluble high refractive index polyimides have extensive applications in optical devices due to their ease of processing and versatility. In this work, selenide-containing polyimides were designed and synthesized via amine-dianhydride polycondensation. Two selenide containing diamines, e.g. bis(3-trifluoromethyl-4-aminophenyl)selenide (BTFAPS) and bis(4-aminophenyl)selenide (BAPS) were reacted with 4,4'(Hexafluoroisopropylidene)diphthalic anhydride (6FDA) for the preparation of selenide containing polyimides. Comparison with its oxygen and sulfur counterparts, the selenide-containing PIs have better solubility, higher refractive index, and can bring redox responsiveness. This is due to the trifluoromethyl base, which possesses a large free volume, and the selenium element, which has a higher molar refraction and redox activities than even sulfur. Various techniques, such as nuclear magnetic resonance, gel permeation chromatography, Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy and wide angle X-ray diffraction were used for characterizing the polymers structure. Differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, spectroscopic ellipsometry and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were used to characterize the properties of the polymers.
