4'-(Tert-butyl)-4,7-di(thiophen-2-yl)spiro[benzo[d]imidazole-2,1'-cyclohexane], 4,7-di([2,2'-bithiophen]-5-yl)-4'-(tert-butyl)spiro[benzo[d]imidazole-2,1'-cyclohexane], 4'-(tert-butyl)-4,7-bis(thieno[3,2-b]thiophen-2-yl)spiro[benzo[d]imidazole-2,1'- cyclohexane] were synthesized, electrochemically polymerized and electrochromic properties of resultant polymers were investigated. The monomers were characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-NMR, 13C-NMR). Cyclic voltammetry (CV) and ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy techniques were used to investigate electrochemical behavior of the monomers and redox behaviors of the conducting polymers. After electrochemical polymerization, the electrochromic properties of the conducting polymers were investigated via spectroelectrochemical, and kinetic studies. Poly-(2-(4-(hexadecyloxy)phenyl)-5-methyl-10-(5-methylthiophen-2-yl)-1- phenyl-1H-phenanthro[9,10-d]imidazole), poly-(2-(4-(hexadecyloxy)phenyl)-5-methyl- 10-(5'-methyl-[2,2'-bithiophen]-5-yl)-1-phenyl-1H-phenanthro[9,10-d]imidazole) were synthesized and their electrochromic properties were investigated. For the characterization of the polymers gel permeation chromatography (GPC), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) were used. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) and ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy were used to investigate electrochemical behavior and redox reactions of conducting polymers.

Syntheses and Electrochemical Characterization of Low Oxidation Potential Nitrogen Analogs of Pedot as Electrochromic Materials Hacioglu, Serife O.; Yigit, Deniz; Ermis, Emel; Soylemez, Saniye; GÜLLÜ, Mustafa; Toppare, Levent Kamil (The Electrochemical Society, 2016-01-01) In this study, the electropolymerization of ethyl andmethyl substituted asymmetrical nitrogen analogs of 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (OEt and OMe) were synthesized, characterized and their electrochemical properties were investigated. Both polymers (POEt and POMe) were synthesized electrochemically and characterized using spectroelectrochemical technique to determine optical changes of the resulting polymer films. Electrochemical studies demonstrated that these polymers exhibited a significantly low oxidatio...
Template-free microsphere and hollow sphere formation of polymethylanilines Icli, Merve; Önal, Ahmet Muhtar; CİHANER, ATİLLA (Wiley, 2009-06-01) BACKGROUND: Microsphere and/or hollow sphere formation of methyl-substituted polyaniline derivatives was investigated via chemical polymerization where different sets of conditions were examined. It was found that a variety of parameters (e.g. types and concentrations of monomer and oxidant, polymerization time, solvent with and without acid) have a crucial influence on the morphology of the resulting polyaniline derivatives.
Polymerization of propylene oxide and copolymerization of carbon disulphide and propylene oxide with xanthate salts Aksoy, S.; Balkan, M.; Alyürük, K. (Elsevier BV, 1989-1) Anionic polymerization of propylene oxide (PO) using several xanthate salts was studied. Low molecular weight oily polymers with variable sulphur content were obtained by using either potassium ethyl xanthate or potassium benzyl xanthate. The highest attainable conversion of PO was limited to ca 10%. The polymerization was accompanied by formation and precipitation of a by-product salt. In the presence of CS2, an oily copolymer with about 40% sulphur was obtained from the above mixtures. In reaction systems...
Electrochemical and Optical Studies of Furan and Thieno[3,2-b]thiophene End Capped Benzotriazole Derivatives AKBASOGLU, Naime; BALAN, Abidin; BARAN, Derya; Çırpan, Ali; Toppare, Levent Kamil (Wiley, 2010-12-01) Two new 2-dodecyl benzotriazole (BTz) based donor-acceptor-donor (DAD) type polymers were synthesized and characterized in terms of their electrochemical and spectral properties. These DAD type polymers were synthesized electrochemically from furan or thieno[3,2-b]thiophene (TT) endcapped BTz monomers. Furan based and thieno[3,2-b]thiophene based monomers showed monomer oxidations at 1.15 and 1.25 V, respectively, which eased the formation of conducting polymer films without overoxidation. Cyclic voltammetr...
Syntheses of conducting polymers of 3-ester substituted thiophenes and characterization of their electrochromic properties Çamurlu, Pınar; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Department of Chemistry (2006) In this study three different 3-ester substituted thiophene monomers were synthesized via esterification reaction of 3-thiophene ethanol with adipoyl chloride or sebacoyl chloride or octanoyl chloride in the presence of triethylamine at 00C. Characterizations of the monomers were performed by 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, FTIR, DSC, TGA techniques. Electrochemical behavior of the monomers both in presence or absence of BFEE were studied by cyclic voltammetry. Results showed the astonishing effect of BFEE on the polymeri...
