3 Experimental section General Chemicals were purchased from Aldrich, Alfa Aesar and used as received. Solvents and other common reagents were obtained from the Beijing Chemical Plant. 4,5-dichlorophthalic anhydride 1 was synthesized according to the literature. 1 H-NMR (300 MHz) and 13 C-NMR (75 MHz) spectra were obtained on a Bruker DMX-300 NMR Spectrometer using tetramethylsilane as internal standard. High-resolution mass spectra (HRMS) and EI MS were both recorded on Micromass GCT-MS spectrometer. Elemental analyses were performed on a Carlo Erba model 1160 elemental analyzer. FT-IR spectra were determined using a Perkin-Elmer Tensor 27 spectrometer. Electronic absorption spectra were measured on a Jasco V570 UV-vis spectrophotometer. TGA-DTA measurements were carried out on a TA SDT 2960 instruments under a dry nitrogen flow, heating from room temperature (R.T.) to 500 C, with a heating rate of 10 C/min. DSC analyses were performed on a TA DSC 2010 instruments under a dry N 2 flow, heating from R.T. to 400 C, at a heating rate of 10 C/min. Cyclic voltammetric measurements were carried out in a conventional three-electrode cell using Pt button working electrodes of 2 mm diameter, a platinum wire counter electrode, and a Ag/AgCl reference electrode on a computer-controlled CHI660C instruments at R.T. X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements were carried out in the reflection mode at R.T. using a 2-kW Rigaku X-ray diffraction system. SEM was performed on a Hitachi S-4300 field-emission scanning electron microscope at R.T. Reference 1. L. R. Caswell, M. Guevara, L. D. Corley, A. V. Martínez, T. Hollis, K. Largess, D. L.
