Two novel donor-acceptor type, spiro-configured, fluorene derivatives 3',6'-bis(octyloxy)-2,7-di(thiophen-2-yl)spiro[fluorene-9,9'-xanthene] (TXT) and 2,7-bis(2,3-dihydrothieno[3,4-b][1,4]dioxin-5-yl)-3',6'-bis(octyloxy)spiro[fluorene-9,9'-xanthene] (EXE) have been synthesized and then electropolymerized via potentiodynamic and potentiostatic methods. Optical and electrochemical properties of their polymers, poly(3',6'-bis(octyloxy)-2,7-di(thiophen-2-yl)spiro[fluorene-9,9'-xanthene]) (PTXT) and poly(2,7-bis(2,3-dihydrothieno[3,4-b][1,4]dioxin-5-yl)3',6'-bis(octyloxy)spiro[fluorene-9,9'-xanthene]) (PEXE) were investigated and it was found that polymers exhibit reversible redox behavior (Eonset-Oxd = 0.85 V for PTXT, Eonset-Oxd = 0.08 V for PEXE) accompanied with a reversible electrochromic behavior, yellow to green for FTXT, scarlet red to turquoise green with different intermediate colors for PEXE. The band gaps of the polymers were found to be 2.23 eV and 1.74 eV for PTXT and PEXE, respectively. PTXT was also prepared via chemical polymerization and the obtained polymer was found to display blue light emission in chloroform with a relatively high quantum yield (Phi(f) = 0.59 in cyclohexane) despite having bluish-green light emission in the solid state. Both PTXT and PEXE are thermally stable with decomposition temperatures above 300 degrees C.

The first enantioselective synthesis of chiral norbornane-type 1,4-diamine ligand Tanyeli, Cihangir; Özçubukçu, Salih (Elsevier BV, 2003-05-02) The asymmetric synthesis of trans-2,3-bis(aminomethyl)norbornane was performed starting with endo-2,3-norbornene dicarboxylate anhydride. Desymmetrization of meso-anhydride 1 and following selective epimerization gave the trans-monoester (+)-3 with a high enantiomeric excess (98% e.e.). LiAlH4 reduction of the trans-monoester to the 1,4-diol, which was then treated with phthalimide under Mitsunobu conditions and, following a Gabriel type amine synthesis with hydrazine hydrate, yielded a saturated and unsatu...
Novel Molecular Building Blocks Based on the Boradiazaindacene Chromophore: Applications in Fluorescent Metallosupramolecular Coordination Polymers Bozdemir, Oe. Altan; Buyukcakir, Onur; AKKAYA, Engin Umut (Wiley, 2009-01-01) We designed and synthesized novel boradiazaindacene (Bodipy) derivatives that are appropriately functionalized for metal-ion-mediated supramolecular polymerization. Thus, ligands for 2-terpyridyl-, 2,6-terpyridyl-. and bipyridyl-functionalized Bodipy dyes were synthesized through Sonogashira couplings. These fluorescent building blocks are responsive to metal ions in a stoichiometry-dependent manner. Octahedral coordinating metal ions such as Zn-II result in polymerization at a stoichiometry corresponding t...
A promising combination of benzotriazole and quinoxaline units: A new acceptor moiety toward synthesis of multipurpose donor-acceptor type polymers Ozdemir, Serife; Sendur, Merve; Oktem, Gozde; Doğan, Özdemir; Toppare, Levent Kamil (2012-01-01) By combining benzotriazole and quinoxaline units in an acceptor unit, three novel monomers, 2-dodecyl-6,7-diphenyl-4,9-di(thiophen-2-yl)-2H-[1,2,3] triazolo[4,5-g] quinoxaline (M-1), 2-dodecyl-4,6,7,9- tetra(thiophen-2-yl)-2H-[1,2,3] triazolo[4,5-g] quinoxaline (M-2) and 6,7-bis(4-tert-butylphenyl)-2- dodecyl-4,9-di(thiophen-2-yl)-2H-[1,2,3] triazolo[4,5-g] quinoxaline (M-3), were synthesized and polymerized electrochemically. All polymers revealed both p- and n-type doping properties under ambient conditio...
