This study consists of synthesis of alternating donor-acceptor type hybrid monomers based on various carbazole units as the electron rich donor group and thieno[3,4c]pyrrole-4,6-dione (TPD) or 2,5-dihydro-3,6-di-2-thienyl-pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrole-1,4dione (DPP) as the electron poor acceptor unit. The main goal of this research was not only to synthesize new low band gap polymers but also to shed more light on the substituent and linkage side effect of carbazole units on the optoelectronic properties of monomers and polymers. For this aim, four donor-acceptor-donor type monomers were synthesized via Suzuki coupling reaction and were characterized by spectroscopic techniques. The monomers synthesized in this work were polymerized by both potentiodynamic and potentiostatic electrochemical techniques. Electrochemically obtained polymer films, exhibited quasi-reversible redox behavior due to doping/dedoping of the polymers which were accompanied by a reversible electrochromic behavior. Their band gap values (Eg) were elucidate utilizing spectroelectrochemical and electrochemical data and it was found that polymers obtained from 3,6-substituted carbazole derivatives have slightly lower band gap values than 2,7-substituted carbazole derivatives.

Synthesis of bistriphenylamine- and benzodithiophene-based random conjugated polymers for organic photovoltaic applications CETIN, Asli; ISTANBULLUOGLU, Cagla; HACIOGLU, Serife Ozdemir; CEVHER, ŞEVKİ CAN; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Çırpan, Ali (2017-11-15) In this study, donor-acceptor random polymers containing benzotriazole acceptor and bistriphenylamine and benzodithiophene donors, P1 and P2, were successfully synthesized by Stille coupling polymerization. The effect of bistriphenylamine moiety and thiophene -conjugated linker on electrochemical, spectroelectrochemical, and optical behaviors of the polymers were investigated. Optoelectronic properties and photovoltaic performance of the polymers were examined under the illumination of AM 1.5G, 100 mWcm(-2)...
Synthesis and electro-optical properties of new conjugated hybrid polymers based on furan and fluorene units Gunes, Arzu; CİHANER, ATİLLA; Önal, Ahmet Muhtar (2013-02-01) A novel series of hybrid monomers containing furan and fluorene units, namely 2-(2-(furan-2-yl)-9H-fluoren-7-yl)furan (FFF), 2,7-di(furan-2-yl)-9H-fluoren-9-one (FOF) and 2-(2-(furan-2-yl)-9,9-dihexyl-9H-fluoren-7-yl)furan (FHF), was synthesized and their electrochemical polymerization was achieved via potential cycling. Optical and electrochemical properties of the polymers, poly(2-(2-(furan-2-yl)9H-fluoren-7-yl)furan (PFFF), poly(2,7-di(furan-2-yl)-9H-fluoren-9-one) (PFOF) and poly(2-(2-(furan2-yl)-9,9-di...
Syntheses of novel fluorinated dibenzo[a,c]phenazine comprising polymers for electrochromic device applications Hacioglu, Serife O.; Aktas, Ece; Hizalan, Gonul; Akbasoglu, Naime; Çırpan, Ali; Toppare, Levent Kamil (2022-7-01) In this study, two novel fluorinated dibenzo[a,c]phenazine derivatives, 2,7-bis(5-bromo-4-hexylthiophen2-yl)-11-fluorodibenzo[a,c]phenazine (TFBPz) and 2,7-bis(2,3-dihydrothieno[3,4-b][1,4]dioxin-5-yl)-11- fluorodibenzo[a,c]phenazine (EFBPz), were synthesized by coupling fluorodibenzo[a,c]phenazine (FBPz) with electron rich 3-hexylthiophene and ethylene dioxythiophene (EDOT) units. The monomers were polymerized electrochemically and their electrochemical, spectroelectrochemical and electrochromic behavi...
Syntheses of benzotriazole bearing donor acceptor type random copolymers for full visible light absorption Öktem, Gözde; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Department of Chemistry (2011) The synthesis and preliminary optoelectronic properties of a series of donor-acceptor (DA) type polymers differing by the acceptor units in the polymer backbone were investigated. Polymers CoP1, CoP2 and CoP3 were designed to yield alternating DA segments with randomly distributed different acceptor units along polymer backbone. The combination of neutral state red colored and neutral state green colored materials resulted in different neutral state colors with respect to their additional acceptor unit. 5,8...
Electrochemical polymerization and characterization of polyether-substituted aniline derivatives Tirkeş, Süha; Oenal, Ahmet M. (Wiley, 2007-08-01) New compounds consisting of aniline units linked by polyether bridges have been synthesized and their electrochemical polymerization was performed via constant potential electrolysis and cyclic voltammetry in an aqueous solution containing 3.0 moI L-1 H2SO4. Chemical polymerization was carried out using (NH4)(2)S2O8 as oxidizing agent. It was found that both methods gave the same polymer product without any cleavage of the polyether bridge between aniline rings. The polymers were characterized using the Fou...
