Abstract A novel monomer of tetrachloroterephthaloyl chloride (TCTPC) was prepared by the chlorination of terephthaloyl chloride catalyzed by ferric chloride at 175‐180 °C for 10 h, and confirmed by FTIR, MS and elemental analysis. A series of new polychloro substituted poly(aryl ether ketone)s with inherent viscosities of 0.58‐0.65 dL/g have been prepared from TCTPC with aromatic ether monomers by electrophilic Friedel‐Crafts acylation in the presence of DMF with anhydrous AlCl 3 as a catalyst in 1,2‐dichloroethane. Glass‐transition temperatures of these polychlorinated polymers ranged from 267 to 280 °C by DSC. The degradation temperature at 5% weight loss by TGA in nitrogen for these polymers ranged from 486 to 534 °C, and the char yields at 700 °C were 54‐65%. The polymers having a weight‐average molecular weight in the range of 65,900‐79,300 are all amorphous and readily soluble in polar solvents such as DMF, DMSO and NMP at room temperature. All the polymers formed transparent, strong, and flexible films, with tensile strengths of 86.1‐99.7 MPa, Young's moduli of 2.32‐3.35 GPa, and elongations at break of 10‐15%.
