4,4'-Biphenyldicarbonyl chloride is a crystalline solid that can be synthesized from 4,4'-biphenyldicarboxylic acid and carbon tetrachloride. It has been used to produce polyesters for the production of fibers and films. The reaction time of this compound is dependent on the temperature. It reacts quickly at temperatures above 100 degrees Celsius but slowly at lower temperatures. 4,4'-Biphenyldicarbonyl chloride has been shown to have efficiencies similar to that of azobenzene in polymerizing terephthalic acid and morphology properties similar to those of poly(tetramethylene adipate) (PTMA). This compound also shows optical properties with a high refractive index, which makes it useful for lenses and mirrors.
