A novel fluorinated diamine monomer, 1,1′-thiobis-[(2-trifluoromethyl)4-aminophenoxy) naphthyl ether], was successfully synthesized in two steps route, including the Williamson etherification reaction, followed by catalytic reduction. A series of fluorine-containing poly(ether amide)s were synthesized from such diamine with various aromatic dicarboxylic diacids. These polymers were amorphous in nature, readily soluble in various organic solvents and exhibited high thermal stability and low refractive indexes.
