Abstract
High purity crystals of a biphenyltetracarboxylic dianhydride produced by dehydration of a biphenyltetracarboxylic acid, which contain almost no biphenyltricarboxylic acid or its anhydride, or a small amount such as an amount of not more than 0.2 wt. %, are of value to produce an aromatic polyamic acid or polyimide having an increased high molecular weight. The high purity crystals of a biphenyltetracarboxylic dianhydride can be prepared from a biphenyltetracarboxylic acid by a dehydration process wherein the biphenyltetracarboxylic acid is heated under carefully controlled conditions.
