A novel conducting polymer bearing strong electron-withdrawing substituents (EWS) directly attached to the 3,4-positions of the thiophene ring was synthesized by electrochemical polymerization of diethyl 2,5-di(thiophen-2-yl)thiophene-3,4-dicarboxylate (SSS-Diester). The polymer (PSSS-Diester) was characterized by cyclic voltammetry, FT-IR and UV-vis spectroscopy. The polymer has a reversible redox process and demonstrates a stable electrochromic behavior: reddish orange in the neutral state, brown in the intermediate state and green in the oxidized state. Optical density and response time of the dual-type electrochromic device based on PSSS-Diester were found to be 0.23 and 0.6 s at 623 nm, respectively. It is also noteworthy that the device shows good environmental and redox stability (i.e. 94% of the optical activity of the device retained after 500th switch).

Synthesis and electropolymerization of a new ion sensitive ethylenedioxy-substituted terthiophene monomer bearing a quinoxaline moiety Carbas, Buket Bezgin; Kivrak, Arif; Zora, Metin; Önal, Ahmet Muhtar (2012-07-15) A new terthienyl based fluorescent polymer bearing pendant quinoxaline moieties directly attached to the 3-positions of the central thiophene ring was synthesized by electrochemical polymerization of 4-(2,5-bis(2,3-dihydrothieno[3,4-b][1,4]dioxin-5-yl)thiophen-3-yl)Pyrrolo[1,2-a]quinoxaline (EE-Q). The corresponding polymer, poly(4-(2,5-bis(2,3-dihydrothieno[3,4-b][1,4]dioxin-5-yl)thiophen-3-yl)pyrrolo[1,2-a]quinoxaline) P(EE-Q), was characterized by cyclic voltammetry, FT-IR and UV-vis spectroscopy.

Synthesis and characterization of a bifunctional amido-thiophene monomer and its copolymer with thiophene and electrochemical properties AK, M; Çırpan, Ali; Yılmaz, Fatih; YAGCI, Y; Toppare, Levent Kamil (2005-05-01) A bifunctional amido-thiophene namely hexamethylene (bis-3-thiophene acetamide) (HMTA) was synthesized by the reaction of 3-thiophene acetic acid with hexamethylene diamine. Copolymerization in the presence of thiophene was achieved electrochemically in tetrabutylammonium tetrafluoroborate/acetonitrile (TBAFB/AN). Spectroelectro-chemical analysis of the resulting copolymer [P(HMTA-co-Th)] reflected electronic transitions at 505 nm, 740 nm and similar to 1000 nm, revealing pi to pi* transition, polaron and b...
A novel multielectrochromic copolymer based on 1-(4-nitrophenyl)-2,5-di(2-thienyl)-1H-pyrrole and EDOT Varis, Serhat; Ak, Metin; Akhmedov, Iris M.; Tanyeli, Cihangir; Toppare, Levent Kamil (2007-05-01) Copolymer of 1-(4-nitrophenyl)-2,5-di(2-thienyl)-1H-pyrrole (NTP) with 3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene (EDOT) was electrochemically synthesized and characterized. Resulting copolymer film has distinct electrochromic properties. It has five different colors (light red, red, light grey, green, and blue). At the neutral state lambda(max) x value due to the pi-pi* transition was found to be 550 nm and E-g was calculated as 1.6 eV. Double potential step chronoamperometry experiment shows that copolymer film has good...
Synthesis of a novel fluorescent and ion sensitive monomer bearing quinoxaline moieties and its electropolymerization Carbas, Buket Bezgin; KIVRAK, Arif; Zora, Metin; Önal, Ahmet Muhtar (Elsevier BV, 2011-05-01) A novel terthienyl based fluorescent polymer bearing pendant quinoxaline moieties directly attached to the 3-positions of the central thiophene ring was synthesized by electrochemical polymerization of 4-((2,5-dithiophen-2-yl)thiophen-3-yl)pyrrolo[1,2-a]quinoxaline (TT-Q). The corresponding polymer was characterized by cyclic voltammetry, FT-IR and UV-vis spectroscopy.

An amperometric acetylcholine biosensor based on a conducting polymer Kanik, Fulya Ekiz; Kolb, Marit; TİMUR, SUNA; Bahadir, Muefit; Toppare, Levent Kamil (Elsevier BV, 2013-08-01) An amperometric acetylcholine biosensor was prepared by the generation of the conducting polymer poly(4-(2,5-di(thiophen-2-yl)-1H-pyrrol-1-yl)benzenamine) (poly(SNS-NH2)) on graphite electrodes. For pesticide detection, the enzymes acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and choline oxidase (ChO) were co-immobilized onto the conducting polymer poly(SNS-NH2) films using covalent binding technique. Electrochemical polymerization was carried out using a three-electrode cell configuration via cyclic voltammetry. Characteri...
