2-Dodecyl benzotriazole and 9,9-dioctylfluorene containing alternating copolymers poly((9,9-dioctylfluorene)-2,7-diyl-(2-dodecyl-benzo[1,2,3]triazole)) (P1), poly((9,9-dioctylfluorene)-2,7-diyl-(4,7-bis(thien-2-yl) 2-dodecyl-benzo[1,2,3]triazole)) (P2), poly((9,9-dioctylfluorene)-2,7-diyl-(4,7-bis(3-hexylthien-5-yl) 2-dodecyl benzo[1,2,3]triazole)) (P3) were synthesized via a typical Suzuki coupling polymerization. UV-vis and electrochemical studies indicated that polymers have desirable HOMO-LUMO and band gap energy levels, enabling efficient electron transfer when blending them with fullerene derivatives. Photovoltaic properties of the copolymers mixed with [6,6] phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM), were investigated. P2 exhibited the best device performance with an open circuit voltage of 0.6 V. short circuit current of 3.4 mA/cm(2) and power conversion efficiency of 0.56% under Air mass 1.5 Global (AM 1.5G, 100 mW/cm(2)) illumination. Hole mobilities of the polymers were calculated using space charge limited current (SCLC) method and found to be in the order of 10(-5) for P1 and P2 and 10(-4) for P3.

Solution processable benzotriazole and fluorene containing copolymers for photovoltaic applications Kaya, Emine; Çırpan, Ali; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Department of Chemistry (2011) 2-Dodecyl benzotriazole and 9,9-dioctylfluorene containing alternating copolymers poly((9,9-dioctylfluorene)-2,7-diyl-(2-dodecyl-benzo[1,2,3]triazole)) (P1), poly((9,9-dioc-tylfluorene)-2,7-diyl-(4,7-bis(thien-2-yl) 2-dodecyl benzo[1,2,3]triazole)) (P2), poly((9,9 dioctylfluorene)-2,7-diyl-(4,7-bis(3-hexylthien-5-yl) 2-dodecyl-benzo[1,2,3]triazole)) (P3) were synthesized via Suzuki polycondensation. Synthesized monomers and copolymers were characterized by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (1H-NMR, 13C-NMR). Optic...

LATTICE POLYMERS - BEHAVIOR FAR FROM THETA-CONDITIONS YURTSEVER, E; ISSEVER, S (Elsevier BV, 1992-01-01) Two-dimensional Monte-Carlo simulations of lattice polymers were carried out employing Lennard-Jones (LJ) type intramolecular interactions. The shape-dependent properties of these polymers were studied over a large range of interaction parameters and temperatures. The variation of the critical constant was also analysed. Two-dimensional surfaces of sections were used to determine the portions of the parameter space which corresponded to theta-conditions. The behaviour of LJ polymers far from theta-condition...
Synthesis of selenophene substituted benzodithiophene and fluorinated benzothiadiazole based conjugated polymers for organic solar cell applications Cevher, Duygu; Taşkaya Aslan, Sultan; Bolayır, Eda; Hizalan Ozsoy, Gonul; UDUM, YASEMİN; Yıldırım, Erol; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Çırpan, Ali (2021-12-01) A series of alternating conjugated copolymers which contain selenophene modified benzodithiophene and fluorine bearing benzothiadiazole have been synthesized via Stille polycondensation reaction to investigate the effect of the number of fluorine atoms substituted to the benzothiadiazole. Three different polymers, PBDTSe-BT, PBDTSe-FBT and PBDTSe-FFBT, were reported and their electrochemical, spectroelectrochemical, and photovoltaic behaviors were examined. Density functional theory calculations were perfor...
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.
