A soluble photoreactive polyimide (PSPI) with side-group cinnamate (CI) chromophores that forms good quality films through conventional solution spin-casting and drying processes was successfully synthesized with a reasonably high molecular weight: poly(3,3‘-bis(cinnamoyloxy)-4,4‘-biphenylene hexafluoroisopropylidenediphthalimide) (6F-HAB-CI). This 6F-HAB-CI PSPI is thermally stable up to 340 °C, its glass transition temperature (Tg) is 181 °C, and it was determined by prism coupling to be positively birefringent. The photochemical reactions of the PSPI in solution and in films, as well as the molecular orientations of the PSPI that are induced by exposure of its films to linearly polarized ultraviolet light (LPUVL), were investigated in detail by nuclear magnetic resonance, ultraviolet−visible, infrared, and Raman spectroscopies and by dissolution testing and optical retardation measurements. It was confirmed that the CI chromophores of the PSPI undergo both photoisomerization and photodimerization. LPU...
