Benzochalcogendiazole derivatives are incorporated with thieno[3,4-c]pyrrole-4,6-dione (TPD) acceptor and 4,8-diethoxybenzo[1,2-b:4,5-b ']dithiophene donor to synthesize tree-component random copolymers. Four different copolymers are synthesized and their electronic, optical and photovoltaic properties are compared. Comparisons are aligned in the course of two different strategies, which are the replacement of benzochalcogendiazole moiety and the modification of side group on benzothiadiazole. Theoretical calculations by comparing the HOMO-LUMO levels, band gaps and other electronic descriptors of pristine and 2 + 2 two acceptor-based copolymers are investigated. Random copolymer bearing benzoxadiazole moiety, PO exhibits the highest photovoltaic performance of 8.29% with aJ(sc)of 14.96 mA cm(-2),V(oc)of 0.87 V, fill factor (FF) of 63.70%. PF possesses the highestV(oc)with a value of 0.88 V,J(sc)of 14.40 mA cm(-2), power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 7.32% with 58% FF. PS exhibits average feature withJ(sc)11.82 mA cm(-2),V(oc)0.80 V, FF 50%, and 4.72% PCE. Lowest performing selenadiazole containing random copolymer (PSe) copolymer exhibits maximum PCE as 3.65%. These results demonstrate the promising effectiveness of benzoxadiazole selection as an alternative acceptor unit and F atom substitution for the design of (A1-D)-(A2-D) type random copolymers for organic solar cells.

Investigation the effect of π bridge and side chain on photovoltaic properties of benzodithiophene and quinoxaline based conjugated polymers
Taşkaya Aslan, Sultan; Alemdar, Eda; Hacıefendioğlu, Tuğba; UDUM, YASEMİN; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Yıldırım, Erol; Çırpan, Ali (2022-04-15)
© 2022 Elsevier LtdA series of donor–acceptor type alternative polymers containing 2D-BDT and 1D-BDT as the donors and quinoxaline as the acceptor were successfully obtained by Stille coupling reactions. Synthesized polymers containing selenophene and thiophene as π-bridges in their backbones and 2-ethylhexylselenophene and 2-ethylhexylalkoxy side groups on the BDT structure were named as P1, P2, P3 and P4, respectively. Eonsetox and Eonsetred were investigated for P1, P2, P3, and P4, respectively. Onset ox...
A new and efficient chemoenzymatic route to both enantiomers of alpha '-acetoxy and alpha '-hydroxy-alpha-methoxy cyclic enones
Demir, Ayhan Sıtkı; Caliskan, Z; Aydin, AE; Bicer, I (Elsevier BV, 2006-03-06)
A chemoenzymatic synthesis of both enantiomers of the pharmacologically interesting alpha'-acetoxy and alpha'-hydroxy-alpha-methoxy cyclic enones starting from alpha-hydroxy cyclic enones is described. Protection of 1,2-diketones, manganese(III) acetate-mediated acetoxylation followed by enzyme-mediated hydrolysis of alpha'-acetoxy enones gives acetoxy enones 3a-d and hydroxy enones 4a-d with high enantiomeric excesses (up to 99%) and good yields. The transesterification of rac-4b in the presence of DMAP af...
A new and efficient chemoenzymatic route to both enantiomers of alpha '-acetoxy-alpha-methyl and gamma-hydroxy-alpha-methyl cyclic enones
Demir, Ayhan Sıtkı; Findik, H; Kose, E (Elsevier BV, 2004-03-08)
A chemoenzymatic synthesis of both enantiomers of the pharmacologically interesting alpha'-acetoxy-alpha-methyl and gamma-hydroxy-alpha-methyl cyclic enones starting from alpha-methyl-beta-methoxy cyclic enones is reported. Manganese(Ill) acetate-mediated acetoxylation followed by the enzyme-mediated hydrolysis of alpha'-acetoxy enone provides acetoxy enones 1a and 2a and hydroxy enones 1b and 2b with high enantiomeric excesses in good yields. The reduction of the acetoxy and hydroxy enones furnished both e...
A novel asymmetric synthesis of highly enantiomerically enriched norbornane-type diamine derivatives
BOLM, CARSTEN; SCHİFFERS, INGO; ATODİRESEİ, IULİANA; Özçubukçu, Salih; RAABE, GERHARD (Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2003-01-01)
The simple and highly enantioselective methanolysis of norbornene dicarboxylic acid anhydride mediated by quinidine leads to the corresponding cis-monomethyl ester with 98% ee. By means of selective ester epimerization, followed by Curtius degradation of the intermediate trans-diacyl azide, two optically active norbornane-type diamines are obtained as their hydrochloric salts. Liberating the amine with an excess of triethylamine in situ and subsequent derivatization affords potential C-1-symmetric ligands f...
A novel one-pot synthesis of ferrocenyl-substituted 1,2,4-oxadiazoles
Zora, Metin; Kelgokmen, YILMAZ (Elsevier BV, 2014-06-01)
One-pot synthesis of 5-ferrocenyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles via the reaction between 3-ferrocenylpropynal and amidoximes is described. 3-Ferrocenylpropynal reacts with a variety of amidoximes in the presence of KOH in refluxing dioxane to afford a broad range of 5-ferrocenyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole derivatives. The reaction first produces the corresponding conjugate addition product which, upon cyclization and rearrangement, yields the targeted 1,2,4-oxadiazole. The reaction appears to be general for a diversity of amidox...
