Abstract A novel monomer of tetrachloroterephthaloyl chloride (TCTPC) was prepared by the chlorination of terephthaloyl chloride catalyzed by ferric chloride at 175-180 C for 10 h, and confirmed by FTIR, MS and elemental analysis. A series of new polychloro substituted poly (aryl ether ketone) s with inherent viscosities of 0.58-0.65 dL/g have been prepared from TCTPC with aromatic ether monomers by electrophilic Friedel-Crafts acylation in the ...
