In this study, synthesis of two new monomers; 2-(2,3-dihydrothieno[3,4-b] (1,4] dioxin-5-yl)-7(2,3-dihydrothieno [3,4-b][1,4]dioxin-7-yl)-9H-carbazole (ECzE) and 2-(3,3-dihexy1-3,4-dihydro2H-thieno[3,4-b][1,4]dioxepin-6yl)-7-(3,3-dihexyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-thieno[3,4-b] [1,4] dioxepin-8-yl)-9H-carbazole (PCzP), via Stille cross-coupling reaction and their electrochemical polymerization both by repetitive cycling and by constant potential electrolysis was reported. The electrochemical and optical properties of the monomers and their corresponding polymers, PECzE and PPCzP, were investigated and it was found that 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) unit containing monomer and polymer (ECzE and PECzE) have lower oxidation potentials and lower band gap values as compared to dihexyl substituted 3,4-propylenedioxythiophene (PRODOT-6) unit containing monomer and polymer (PCzP and PPCzP). Spectroelectrochemical studies revealed that both of the polymer films exhibit multielectrochromic behavior as well as good electrochemical stability. Moreover, PPCzP was found to be soluble in some organic solvents and its solution in tetrahydrofuran can be reversibly oxidized and reduced using chemical reagents. A dual-type electrochromic device was also constructed using soluble PPCzP as the anodically coloring material and the optical studies were performed on the device. The electrochromic device showed good electrochromic response, such as reasonable coloration efficiency and redox stability.

Cevher, Şevki Can; Keleş, Duygu; Özdemir Hacıoğlu, Şerife; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Çırpan, Ali (null; 2016-07-21)
This study focused on modifying the alkyl‐end‐group of benzotriazole and thiophene containing conjugated polymers. Introducing a moiety with struc‐turally rigid and tendency to enhance the π‐π stacking and also absorption in the high energetic region, influence the both electronic and optic properties of the conjugated polymers. Stille cross coupling chemical polymerization method was performed to synthesize the polymer contains: benzotriazole and bisthiophene. Characterizations of polymers were done in ter...
Selenophene-bearing low-band-gap conjugated polymers: tuning optoelectronic properties via fluorene and carbazole as donor moieties
Yasa, Mustafa; GÖKER, SEZA; Toppare, Levent Kamil (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-05-01)
In this study, two donor-acceptor (D-A)-type conjugated polymers, namely PQSeCz and PQSeFl, were designed and synthesized. Selenophene was incorporated as the pi-bridge and quinoxaline as an acceptor unit, while carbazole and fluorene were used as the donor units. Polymers were synthesized via palladium-catalyzed Suzuki polymerization reaction. All molecules were characterized by H-1 and C-13 NMR spectroscopy. The weight and number average molecular weights of the two polymers were determined by gel permeat...

Comparison of donor-acceptor-donor type conjugated systems with cross-exchange of donor units
Eroğlu, Deniz; Önal, Ahmet Muhtar; Ergün, Emine Gül Cansu; Department of Chemistry (2020-11-23)
In this thesis study, a series of new donor-acceptor donor type monomers were synthesized. For this purpose,benzothiadiazole (B) was used as the acceptor unit. Donor units, carbazole (C) and thiophene(T), were combined to B unit both symmetrically (CBCand CTBTC) and unsymmetrically (CBT) to understand the effect of cross exchange of donor units on the opto-electronic properties of monomers.The monomers were characterized using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and H...
