In this work, we describe the design and synthesis of novel core-fluorinated Schiff base monomers and conjugated polymers based on them. The new fully aromatic highly fluorinated poly(azomethine ether)s (PAMEs) were prepared by polycondensation of core-fluorinated azomethine-containing compounds. The structure of the monomers and polymers were confirmed by FTIR, 1H, 13C, and 19F NMR spectroscopic analysis. The influence of synthesis condition on the properties of PAME compounds was investigated. Application of polarization microscopy with a temperature control thermal stage revealed thermotropic liquid crystalline (LC) behavior in the synthesized materials. Transition temperatures and a range of the existence of the LC phase were studied by a combination of the optical microscopy and DSC analysis. According to the TGA analysis, all the synthesized PAMEs show high thermal stability and thus offer a wide range of thermal processibility (up to 410–477 °C), which makes them prospective materials for many modern applications.
