Film forming aromatic organic polymers are provided having a dielectric constant greater than 3 resulting from the polymerization of aromatic organic monomers having orientable organic dipolar groups with a net dipole moment of at least 0.5 Debye. Among the aromatic organic polymers are included polyimides and polyetherimides having repeat main chain groups with orientable organic dipolar groups with non-symmetrically positioned polar radicals, such as fluoro and nitrile.

Film forming aromatic organic polymers having enhanced dielectric

Bis[4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-phenyl]alkanes, as illustrated by 2,2-bis[4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-phenyl]propane, may be prepared by the reaction of a bisphenol A ester or a similar compound with a p-trialkyltin-substituted anisole, followed by demethylation with a Lewis acid such as boron tribromide. Polycarbonates prepared therefrom are ductile and have high glass transition temperatures.
