Therefore, the Coulomb repulsion and the subsequent expulsion of the TTF2+ units from the cavity

- BMPDPTH and 1,4-phenylene diisocyanate (PDI) to provide polyimide 120 and polyurea 121 [50][51][52][53]. Ye also investigated the similar (bi)imidazole-derived polymers 122 and 123 (X = OH) with a polyuretane backbone generated after copolymerization with 3,3’-dimethoxy-4,4’-biphenylene diisocyanate
