Abstract

High molecular weight thermotropic aromatic polyesters having flow temperatures ranging from 200.degree. to 350.degree. C., and well adopted for molding into mechanically improved shaped articles, e.g., fibers and films, are comprised of recurring structural units of the formulae (I), (II), (III) and (IV), wherein (I) is the structural unit: ##STR1## in which R.sub.1 is methyl, ethyl, chlorine or bromine, said structural units (I) either being identical or different; (II) is the structural unit: ##STR2## (III) is the structural unit: ##STR3## (IV) is the structural unit: ##STR4## and further wherein the molar ratio of the structural units (I) relative to the total amount of the structural units (II)+(III) ranges from 0.95 to 1.05; the amount of the structural units (II) in the mixture of structural units (II)+(III) ranges from 0 to 70 mole % and the amount of the structural units (III) in said mixture ranges from 100 to 30 mole %; and the amount of the structural units (IV), relative to the amount of the structural units (I), ranges from 10 to 300 mole %.
