Bismuth-containing polymers and their manufacturing methods

Abstract

According to the present invention, a method for manufacturing a polymer compound containing a repeating unit represented by the following formula (3) is provided. The method includes the following steps: reacting a bismuth compound represented by the following formula (1) with a dicarboxylic acid compound represented by the following formula (2) in the presence of an oxidant. (In formula (1), X1 to X3 may be the same or different, representing an aromatic hydrocarbon group with 6 to 14 carbon atoms.) (In formula (2), R represents a divalent organic group.) (In formula (3), X1 to X3 and R are the same as defined above, and n represents an integer greater than 2).
