Abstract

An aluminum-nitrogen polymer is prepared by reacting an organic nitrile with a dialkylaluminum hydride to form an organoaluminum imine, and heating the imine to a temperature of 50.degree. to 200.degree. C. for at least 2 hours. The polymeric product can be subjected to an additional heat treatment to form a more highly cross-linked polymer. After either heat treatment the polymeric product can be further reacted with a primary amine or ammonia. The organoaluminum imine as well as the aminated or non-aminated polymers can be pyrolyzed to form an aluminum nitride-containing ceramic.
