Four oligomeric poly(imido-amides) ( PIA s) were obtained from dicarboxylic acids, derived from two dianhydrides containing a Ge atom and the amino acids glycine or L-alanine, which reacted with the diamine bis(4- aminophenyl)-diphenylgermane, in order to obtain the  PIA s containing two Ge atoms in the main chain.  PIA s which contain Me/Me or Ph/Ph on the Ge atom of the dicarboxylic acids moiety, were characterized by IR and 1H and 13C NMR, and elemental analysis. The yields were over 60% with the exception of  PIA-II , and the low inh values are indicative of low molecular weight species. T g  and the thermal stability were evaluated by DSC and thermogravimetry respectively. When Lalanine was included in the dicarboxylic acid, it was possible to see lower values of T g  with respect to those with glycine, due to the higher flexibility of the methyl side groups. When phenyl groups are bonded to the Ge atom of the dicarboxylic acid, also there is a decrease of the T g  in front of those with methyl groups, due to that the increase of the volume of the side groups affects negatively the free rotation of the polymeric chain. The TDT values were obtained by dynamic thermogravimetry, and show that these  PIA s are not thermally stables materials, because the 10% of weight loss is lower than 400 ºC, with the exception of  PIA-IV , in which the value is 403 ºC. The low thermal stability can be due to that the dicarboxylic acids are of aliphatic nature. On the other hand, there was not a clear tendency about the influence of the nature of the amino acid and the groups, methyl or phenyl, bonded to the Ge atom in the dicarboxylic acids.
