Abstract: Perylene monoanhydride monoimide was prepared by reaction of perylene anhydride and benzylamine in water-pyridine mixture of pH 6.4～6.7. It was then condensed with ethanolamine and acrylchloride to give an unsymetrical perylene monomer N-benzyl-N'-(2-acrylate ethyl) 3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic diimide. Polymerization of the diimide with acrylamide gave a new type polymer containing perylene structure. The new polymer has different visible and fluorescence properties from the perylene monomer and improved solubility and film formation properties.
