[0070] More specifically, the present invention provides with dicarboxylic acid derivatives represented as Formula A-1, its alkali metal salt, or its alkaline earth metal salt:

[0071] [Formula A-1]

##STR00008##

[0072] wherein the said R and R are each CF.sub.3 or C.sub.2F.sub.5.

[0073] Asymmetric dicarboxylic acid of the present invention can be used as monomer of polyamideimide, possibly substituted with trifluoromethyl group in order to give better solubility in organic solvent, and control the structure in the aromatic polyamideimide and to provide with aromatic polyamideimide with good solubility, strength and adhesion.

[0074] In another embodiment, provided is a process for producing an asymmetric dicarboxylic acid derivatives represented as [Formula A] in Reaction 1 used as monomer of polyamideimide.

[0075] The said Reaction 1, more specifically, represent the diamine compound represented as Formula A-2 reacting with compound represented as Formula A-3 in imidization reaction to give dicarboxylic acid derivatives represented as Formula A.

##STR00009##

[0076] wherein R, R, X.sub.1 to X.sub.3, L.sub.1, and cyclic group in

##STR00010##

the said Formula A, Formula A-2 and Formula A-3 are the same as defined as above.

[0077] The compound of Formula A-2 can be synthesized by reaction between compound of Formula 1 with compound of Formula 2 as shown in Reaction A via nucleophilic reaction to give dinitro compound of Formula 3, followed by hydrogenation of the said dinitro compound of Formula 3.

##STR00011##

[0078] i) As shown in Reaction A or B, one of the X or Y may represent a halogen atom (-hal) such as F, Cl, Br, or l or ester, C(O)Cl, while the other may be a reactive functional group to form the linker -L- as in Formula 3 of the said Reaction A, such as OH, SH, NH or their alkali salt:

[0079] ii) wherein R, R, and cyclic group

##STR00012##

in the said Reaction A are the same as defined as above.

[0080] iii) the linker -L- is selected from a group consisting of O, S, C(O)O, OC(O), SO.sub.2, and NR.sub.3.

[0081] The synthesis of diamine compound of said Formula A-2 can be processed according to [Reaction C].

##STR00013##

[0082] In the said [Reaction C], X is hal, and Y is OH, and the linker L is O.

[0083] Meanwhile, in one embodiment, said dicarboxylic acid derivative of Formula A is a monomer consisting of the said compound of Formula A-2 with compound of Formula A-3 in 2:1 ratio in mole. To reduce the side product such as compound of Formula A-2 with compound of Formula A-3 in 1:1 ratio in mole, the said compound of A-3 should be more than double of the compound of Formula A-2 to obtain the said dicarboxylic acid of Formula A.

[0084] In one embodiment, the imidization of said Reaction I in the synthesis of the said dicarboxylic acid derivative can be done via dehydration reaction in the presence of acid catalyst such as glacial acetic acid.

[0085] Also, the said imidization may need solvent in the synthesis of the said dicarboxylic acid.

[0086] The said solvent may be selected from a group consisting of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), N,N-dimethyl acetamide (DMAc), N-methyl pyrrolidone (NMP), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), and m-cresol and the like, and the reaction temperature is between 80 C. and 250 C.

[0087] Also, the said imidization reaction is dehydration reaction, so that the removing water during reaction is critical by adopting water removing apparatus.

[0088] In general, the said imidization reaction involves with dissolving the starting material in the solvent, raising temperature for some time with stirring to complete imidation. For effective imidization reaction, small amount of dehydrating agent or imidization catalyst is added continuously during the reaction to remove water, resulting in the higher degree of imidization. The dehydrating agent or imidization catalyst may be any dehydrating agent or imidization catalyst known to a person skilled in the art. After the completion of the imidization reaction, the reaction mixture is added to an excess amount of a mixture of methanol and water to form precipitates, which are then washed with hot water and alcohol, followed by drying in a vacuum oven.

[0089] The present invention also provides with the diamine represented as [Formula D] wherein two substituents R and R are attached to the one side of cyclic A asymmetrically.

##STR00014##

[0090] wherein R, R, and cyclic group

##STR00015##

in the said Formula D are the same as defined as above.

[0091] More specifically, said substituents R and R of diamine are identical to or different from each other, and are hydrocarbyl group comprising fluorine.

[0092] In this case, said R and R are C1 to C5 alkyl substituted with fluorine, and the said cyclic group represent

##STR00016##

C6 to C12 arylene unsubstituted or substituted with one or more halogen.

[0093] In one embodiment, the diamine represented as the said [Formula D] of the present invention may be the compound represented as Formula D-1.

##STR00017##

[0094] whereas R and R may independently represent CF.sub.3 or C.sub.2F.sub.5.

[0095] The said diamine of Formula D-1 has trifluoromethyl or pentafluoroethyl substituted on aromatic ring, which inhibits several interactions of polyimide, enhancing the solubility of polyamideimide, as well as lowering the moisture absorption, dielectric constant and refractive index. Also trifluoromethyl or pentafluoroethyl group which is substituted asymmetrically within the molecule cancel out the symmetry in chains of polyamideimide, therefore weakening the interaction and enhancing solubility toward organic solvent.

[0204] Polyamideimide of the present invention has excellent solubility toward NMP, DMAc, and DMSO, probably due to the inhibition of several interactions by introducing asymmetric structure to polymer.

[0205] Meanwhile, the polyamideimide is insoluble to ordinary organic solvent such as ethyl acetate or acetone, however, depending on the kinds of diamine monomers, the polyamideimide of the present invention is soluble in m-cresol, THF, NMP, DMAc, DMF and DMSO.

[0206] As shown in Tables 1 through Table 3, all polyamideimides show good solubility toward organic solvent and high thermal stability. By dissolving polyamideimide in the organic solvent and cast gives strong and transparent film with low thermal expansion coefficient.

[0207] Especially, polyamideimide of examples 1 through 4 meet the criteria such as thermal stability and optical properties applicable for plastic substrate in flexible display. Also considering the fact that the thermal expansion coefficient of Pyrex glass is 4 ppm/ C., polymers of examples 2 through 4 has big advantage of no changes in the previous TFT process condition to replace glass.

[0208] Table 4 shows refractive index of polyamideimide from examples 1 through 7.

[0209] In Table 4, a is refractive index in parallel direction, b is refractive index in perpendicular direction, c is average refractive index, d is birefringence, e is dielectric constant calculated on the basis of average refractive index (=1.10 n.sub.av.sup.2), f is thickness of film.

[0210] As shown in Table 4, despite of the rigid plane structure of polyamideimide, in all case, polyamideimide has low refractive index and low dielectric constant. This is due to the inhibition of interaction between chains of polymer by bulky trifluoromethyl group, as well as low polarizability of fluorine in polymer, and therefore, the polyamideimide of the present invention can be used as electrical and electronic optical material.

[0211] The present invention provides with novel polyamideimide consisting of amide and imide bond within the main chain of polymer, applicable for plastic substrate in flexible display.
