New classes of thieno[3,4-b]pyrazines containing thienyl and ethylenedioxy phenyl units on electron-withdrawing moieties of pi-conjugated terthienyl were synthesized. The effect of structural differences on electrochemical and optoelectronic properties of the resulting polymers was investigated. Changes in the electronic nature of the functional groups enable to tune the electrochemical properties of the pi-conjugated terthienyl monomers by lowering oxidation potential from 062 V (DTTP) to 056 V (DBTP) Spectroelectrochemical analyses revealed that the neutral polymer (PDBTP) is dark green in its neutral state revealing pi-pi* transitions in two well-separated bands at 410 and 751 nm The electronic band gap of polymer, defined as the onset of the pi-pi* transition, is found to be 1.0 eV Using the thienyl unit instead of ethylenedioxy phenyl, a red shift in the band gap (0 95 eV) is observed The polymer, PDTTP, exhibits multicolor electrochromism and can be switched between a dark yellow neutral state, a green intermediate state, and a brown oxidized state PDBTP also shows a multicolored electrochromic behavior with three distinct states: dark green at the neutral state, a brown intermediate state, and a brown-violet oxidized state.

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...
Tailoring the optoelectronic properties of donor-acceptor-donor type pi-conjugated polymers via incorporating different electron-acceptor moieties Tarkuc, Simge; Udum, Yasemin Arslan; Toppare, Levent Kamil (2012-01-31) Syntheses of donor-acceptor-donor type of pi-conjugated monomers were performed to examine the effect of the acceptor units' strength on the electrochemical and optoelectrochemical properties of the resulting monomer and polymer. Palladium catalyzed Stille cross-coupling reaction of an organotin reagent with an organic electrophile was used for the synthesis of target monomers, 5,8-bis(4-hexylthiophen-2-yl)-2-(2,3-dihydrobenzo[b][1,4]clioxin-6-y1)-3-(2,3-dihydrobenzo[b][1,41dioxin-7-yl)quinoxaline (DBQHT) a...
Synthesis of conducting block copolymers and their use in the immobilization of invertase and polyphenol oxidase enzyme Kıralp, Senem; Kıralp, Senem; Department of Chemistry (2004) A new thiophene derivative containing menthyl group (MM) was synthesized and polymerized via chemical and electrochemical methods. Polymers obtained and MM itself were used to synthesize copolymers with pyrrole under conditions of constant potential electrolysis. Cyclic Voltammetry, thermal analysis and scanning electron microscopy analyses were performed for the characterization of samples. Immobilization of invertase and polyphenol oxidase enzymes was performed in the matrices obtained via copolymerizatio...
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. Optical and electrochemical properties of the polymers, poly(2-(2-(furan-2-yl)9H-fluoren-7-yl)furan (PFFF), poly(2,7-di(furan-2-yl)-9H-fluoren-9-one) (PFOF) and poly(2-(2-(furan2-yl)-9,9-di...
Design of a biosensor based on 1-(4-nitrophenyl)-2,5-di(2-thienyl)-1H pyrrole Tuncagil, Sevinc; Varis, Serhat; Toppare, Levent Kamil (2010-07-01) Immobilization of polyphenol oxidase (tyrosinase, E.C. 1.14.18.1) was achieved on a copolymer of 1-(4-nitrophenyl)-2,5-di(2-thieny1)-1H-pyrrole [SNS(NO2)] with pyrrole USNS(NO2)]/PPy) via electrochemical polymerization. Two different substrates; catechol and L-tyrosine were used for the characterization of biosensor. The kinetic parameters of the biosensor, maximum reaction rate of the enzyme (V-max) and Michaelis-Menten constant (K-m) were determined for two different substrates. V-max was found as 0.02 mu...
