Bisphenol A diglycidyl ether (80%), aniline (99%), 2-amino-5-nitrothiazole (97%), and 4-aminobenzonitrile (98%) were purchased from Alfa Aesar, Tianjin, China.

A diazonium salt of 2-amino-5-nitrothiazole was prepared by adding the solid of 2-amino-5-nitrothiazole (0.36 g, 2.5 mmol) directly into the above nitrososulfuric acid solution and stirred at 0[degrees]C at least for 2h.

The azo polymers (PAZ-ET, PAZ-CN, PAZ-NT, and PAZTZ) with strong push-pull azo chromophores were then prepared by the azo-coupling reaction between the precursor PAZ and diazonium salts of 4-aminobenzoic acid ethyl ester, 4-aminobenzonitrile, 4-nitroaniline, and 2-amino-5-nitrothiazole at 0[degrees]C in a polar organic solvent such as DMF.
