Azobenzene and coumarin units bearing four novel 3,6-linked thiophene-carbazole-thiophene type electroactive monomers were synthesized in order to observe the effects of strong chromophore units on the electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical behaviors of resulting pi-conjugated conducting polymers (PTCbzAz, PECbzAz, PTCbzCo and PECbzCo). Electronic and optoelectronic properties of all polymers were investigated by cyclic voltammetry and in situ spectroelectrochemical studies, and their oxidation potentials, HOMO/LUMO energy levels, band gaps (E-g(op)), optical contrasts (Delta T%) and switching times were reported in detail. It was observed that incorporation of strong chromophore units in polymer backbones resulted in poly(3,6-dithienylcarbazole) derivatives with different optical band gap values and different number of colored states. The optical band gap values for PECbzAz, PECbzCo, PTCbzAz, PTCbzCo and were calculated as 1.71 eV, 1.75 eV, 1.93 eV and 2.07 eV, respectively, from the onset of pi-pi* transition in polymer films' neutral state absorptions. All polymers exhibited multicolored electrochromic behavior upon extarnally applied potential. Reported electrochemical and optical features of PECbzAz, PECbzCo, PTCbzAz, PTCbzCo suggest that these poly(3,6-dithienylcarbazole) derivatives are promising candidates for multicolored electrochromic device applications.

Synthesis and polymerization of 2-and 3-substituted thiophene derivatives linked by polyether bridges Tirkeş, Süha; Önal, Ahmet Muhtar (Elsevier BV, 2004-11-15) New compounds consisting of 2- and 3-thienyl units linked by polyether bridges have been synthesized and their electrochemical polymerization was performed via constant potential electrolysis (CPE) in an electrolytic solution containing 0.1 M tetrabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate (TBAPF(6)) dissolved in CH3CN. 2-Thienyl monomers (I and II), but not 3-thienyl monomers (III and IV), were also polymerized via chemical oxidation, which yielded broken pi-conjugated polymer products. The polymers were characteri...
Synthesis and characterization of optical, electrochemical and photovoltaic properties of selenophene bearing benzodithiophene based alternating polymers Atli, Gulten Ozkul; Alemdar, Eda; Taşkaya Aslan, Sultan; Udum, Yasemin Arslan; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Çırpan, Ali (Elsevier BV, 2020-04-01) In this study two donor-acceptor type alternating polymers containing electron-deficient benzotriazole moiety and electron-rich selenophene bearing benzodithiophene moiety; P1 and P2, were designed and synthesized via Stille polymerization. Moreover, the effects of thiophene and selenophene as pi-bridges on optical, electrochemical and optoelectronic features of polymers were examined. The optical band gap values of P1 and P2 were found as 1.47 eV and 1.72 eV, respectively. Cyclic voltammetry studies were p...
Synthesis and electropolymerization of thieno[3,4-c]pyrrole-4,6-dione based donor-acceptor-donor type monomers Çakal, Deniz; Önal, Ahmet Muhtar (Elsevier BV, 2020-04-01) Two monomers containing thieno [3,4-c]pyrrole-4,6-dione (TP) acceptor units, namely 5-(2-ethylhexyl)-1,3-di (furan2-yl)-4H-thieno [3,4-c]pyrrole-4,6(5H)-dione (FTPF) and 5-(2-ethylhexyl)-1,3-di (selenophen-2-yl)-4H-thieno[3,4-c] pyrrole-4,6(5H)-dione (STPS), were synthesized via donor-acceptor-donor approach. Under the same template structure, the effect of heteroatom of the donor unit on redox and optical properties of the monomers and their corresponding polymers obtained via electrochemical method (PFTPF...
Molecular architecture: Another plausible pathway toward a low band gap polymer Tarkuc, Simge; Udum, Yasemin Arslan; Toppare, Levent Kamil (Elsevier BV, 2010-05-01) A donor-acceptor-donor pi-conjugated monomer (10,13-bis(2,3-dihydrothieno[3,4-b][1,4]dioxin-5-yl)dibenzo[a,c]phenazine (PHED)) composed of bi-EDOT and dibenzo[a,c]phenazine repeat units was synthesized to examine the role of acceptor structure on the electronic and optoelectronic properties of the polymer. The spectroelectrochemical analysis showed that the introduction of electron-accepting unit results in a shift in the onset of the pi-pi* transition towards longer wavelengths. The optical band gap (Eg) f...
Synthesis, characterization and optoelectrochemical properties of poly(1,6-bis(2,5-di(thiophen-2-yl)-1H-pyrrol-1-yl)hexane) and its copolymer with EDOT Ak, Metin; Sahmetlioglu, Ertugrul; Toppare, Levent Kamil (Elsevier BV, 2008-09-01) A new polythiophene derivative was synthesized by electrochemical oxidative polymerization of 1,6-bis(2,5-di(thiophen-2-yl)-1H-pyrrol-1-yl)hexane (TPH). The structure of the monomer was elucidated by H-1, C-13, MR and mass analyses. The polymer P(TPH) and its copolymer with 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (P(TPH-co-EDOT)) were synthesized via potentiostatic electrochemical polymerization. Characterizations of the resulting polymers were performed by cyclic voltammetry (CV), FTIR, UV-vis spectroscopies; and condu...
