In organic pi-conjugated materials, side chains play great roles that impact far beyond solubility. In this work, we mainly focused on the synthesis of new donor-acceptor-donor (D-A-D) type conjugated monomers and their corresponding polymers appending thieno[3,4-c]pyrrole-4,6-dione (TPD) acceptor with a new side chain, fluorene (Fl), to investigate the side chain effect. In this context, to reveal the precise effect of the side chains on the optical and electrochemical properties of the monomers and polymers synthesized in this work, four series of D-A-D monomers, each containing a TPD core unit with a different side chain, are compared and discussed in relation to each other. Notably, it was discovered that the TPD acceptor unit can be modified with any functional group other than common alkyl chains to impart new functionalities by maintaining their superior optoelectronic properties. New types of side chains can be used to tune the physical characteristics, such as solubility, absorption, emission, and molecular packing. In this work, Fl-appended monomers as a new class of D-A-D type pi-conjugated molecules containing 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT (E)) and 3,4-propylenedioxythiophene (ProDOT (P)) donor units were studied and it was found that 1,3-bis(2,3-dihydrothieno[3,4-b][1,4]dioxin-5-yl)-5-(9H-fluoren-2-yl)-4H-thieno[3,4-c]pyrrole-4,6(5H)-dione (E(Fl)) and 1,3-bis(3,3-didecyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-thieno[3,4-b][1,4]dioxepin-6-yl)-5-(9H-fluoren-2-yl)-4H-thieno[3,4-c]pyrrole-4,6(5H)-dione (P(Fl)) exhibited reasonable quantum yields and their corresponding polymers revealed ambipolar character with slightly lower band gap as compared to the previous analogues containing other side chains. Observed experimental results were elucidated by first principle calculations. In this paper, we discussed that using side chain engineering is an effective strategy for improving next-generation organic pi-conjugated materials with the desired properties.

Enantioselective michael addition of 1-nitropropane to nitroolefins with 2-aminodmap and quinine based bifunctional organocatalysts Kanberoğlu, Esra; Tanyeli, Cihangir; Department of Chemistry (2015) 1,3-dinitro compounds are key materials in the synthesis of a variety of important fine chemicals. Moreover, they are reduced to 1,3-diamines which are starting materials of biologically active compounds, agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals. In this study, ((2S,3S)-1,3-dinitropentan-2-yl)benzene was synthesized via the Michael addition of 1-nitropropane to trans-β-nitrostyrene in the presence of chiral bifunctional 2-aminoDMAP and quinine based organocatalysts. In the first part of study, reaction conditions ...
Enantioselective Addition Of 1,3-Dicarbonyl Compounds To N-Alkoxycarbonyl Ketimines Derived From Isatins And Construction Of Spirocyclic Oxindoles Karaçal, Duygu; Tanyeli, Cihangir; Department of Chemistry (2022-12-14) Indoline-2,3-dione, commonly known as isatin, is a well-known natural product and has excellent potential to be used as an electrophile and nucleophile, making them valuable building blocks in organic synthesis. They are recognized as core structures in various bioactive molecules and pharmaceutical compounds, and the highly reactive C-3 carbonyl group of isatins makes them more applicable in organic synthesis. The reactions of the C-3 carbonyl group of isatins are mostly by nucleophilic additions and spiro...
Experimental investigation of particle filtration in compression resin transfer molding of advanced composites Aydil Dalkıran, Tuğçe; Erdal Erdoğmuş, Merve; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2014) With the inclusion of particle fillers in advanced continuous fiber reinforced composites, issues such as impregnation with increased viscosity of the injected resin leading to high process pressures and possible nonhomogeneous/directional composite properties due to filtering of filler particles necessitate the study of the relations between processing parameters and the resulting particle distributions. In this study, the particle-resin interaction during compression resin transfer molding (CRTM) and resi...
Polysilicon thin films fabricated by solid phase crystallization using reformed crystallization annealing technique Özmen, Özge Tüzün; Karaman, M.; Turan, Raşit (Elsevier BV, 2014-01-31) In this work, a reformed crystallization annealing technique is presented for the solid phase crystallization (SPC) of amorphous silicon (a-Si) on SiNx-coated quartz substrate. This technique includes a two-step annealing process which consists of a low-temperature (475 degrees C) classical furnace annealing for nucleation of Si and a high-temperature (900 degrees C) grain growth process of polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) during thermal annealing in classical tube furnace. The aim of this reformed two-ste...
Non-fickian moisture absorption in polymers coated with a thin nanocomposite layer Altan, Altan; Altan, M. Cengiz; Guloglu, GÖRKEM EĞEMEN; Güloğlu, Görkem Eğemen (2014-01-01) Moisture absorption in polymers and polymeric composites is well known to lead to significant degradation in mechanical properties. Most epoxy based composites may absorb 2 to 5 wt.% moisture when they are subjected to humid environments. Moisture absorption in polymers has been often characterized with Fickian or various non-Fickian models to describe the time-dependent absorption phenomena. Previous experiments have shown that dispersing moderate amounts of nanoclay in an epoxy resin can: (i) reduce the t...
